How to deploy a project to the server using git pull?

Question

git

I keep all my projects on github. After a bunch of commits, you usually want to upload the already installed version to the production server so that users can test the latest changes. Now I do it by hand.
How can this process be automated?
If it's just a server with git, then everything is clear. We initialize the repository on the server and push it there. But how to dodge in order to send the same changes to the production server in parallel to the github?

Answer 1

I would recommend an external deployment system like github.com/capistrano/capistrano
Here is my config for a symfony2 project:

set :application, "appname"
set :deploy_to, "/var/www/#{application}"

set :repository, "[email protected]:vslinko/#{application}.git"
set :scm, :git

set :shared_files, ["app/config/parameters.yml"]
set :shared_children, ["app/logs", "web/uploads", "vendor"]
set :asset_children, []

set :user, "www-data"
set :use_composer, true
set :update_vendors, false

set :domain, "symfony.slinko.me"
role :app, domain

task :production do
  set :domain, "appname.com"
  role :app, domain
end

Then cap deployon the test server, and cap production deployon the working

Nothing needs to be pushed to the combat server. You are confusing processes.
Repository one. You have it on github. Push _only_ there.
Pull (git pull) both to the local for work, and to test and production.
That is, in combat, to deploy the project:

git clone ....

Further, if there are changes in the code

git pull

But how to dodge in order to send the same changes to the production server in parallel to the github?

You answered your own question: We initialize the repository on the server and push it there.
A git can have several repositories: they pushed to github, then a combat branch (master, most likely) to the server.

Mercurial has a hook update=...
