Deploying websites with git (or generally: deployment workflow)

Question

So I do create websites since some years already but I never cared about a good workflow. So I did bad things like working on the production server etc.

I want to improve all that and so I came across git and tools like wordmove (for wordpress).

I tried to visualize what I want or what I think could work: workflow visualization

Now I think something there is "wrong" or "not so good" and can be done better but I dont really know what or how to do it.

So I have my local machine where I develop, then I have a bitbucket repository, a staging server to show the customer the current status and a production server which is the live server of the customer.

I'd appreciate some help :P How it can be understood.

Answer 1

从git 2.3开始，添加了一个名为“推送部署”的功能，您可以在其中搜索文档或在此处阅读

Answer 2

What type of websites are you making? WordPress, Drupal, ect? It looks like you're on the right track.

As that diagram shows, I'd recommend creating a development , staging , and production branch for each project and setting up a webhook for the repo that listens for pushes and deploys (and builds) accordingly. This way you can deploy to private servers to "stage" your project/features for the client first before merging in to production .

stackahoy.io is built to do exactly this. It's free for 1 repo and unlimited branches. Some benefits to using Stackahoy are:

• Maintain deployments for your git repositories in one place
• Maintain static configuration files (stuff you keep in the .gitignore file)
• Preform post-deployment scripts
• Securely and instantly deploy your code based on the branch that was pushed and see real-time logs as it deploys.
• Deploy to multiple servers at once (good for load-balanced applications)
