How to automatically mirror local git to web hosting

Question

Suppose I have a local repository, project and just made some changes to it.

On my server I have:

Project
   |- index.html
   |- about.html

If I make changes to the local repository, and add a new file, say style.css , is there a way to automatically make the changes to the server so that this happens after I make the local changes:

Project
   |- index.html
   |- about.html
   |- style.css

The idea is that a lot of my work from this project is going to be online for others to show. So far, I've been uploading and re-writing manually through FTP to put the files up. I was wondering if there was a tool/app/script that would help automate this process - if not in Git, perhaps some kind of FTP tool?

I am using justhost if that matters.

Answer 1

This is exactly what git is for,

Making your changes and then commit and share it. Follow those steps to set up your repository:

1. open an account in any git server
2. create a new repository
3. follow the instructions on those sites
4. set up you local repository
5. push your code to the remote repository
