How to properly deploy a site?

Question

git

Hello.
Perhaps the question is banal, but still, how to properly deploy a site?
I googled of course, and found several solutions:
1. Using post-receive on the server.
2. With the help of capistrano.
etc.
I searched on the toaster, but did not find a suitable solution.
All I need to do is upload HTML/CSS/js to the server and basically that's it. (vps on digitalocean)
I read articles, and it seems like post-receive is not quite right, and capistrano is not needed for a simple site.
In the end, what will be more correct and more convenient? Not through sftp to fill in.

Answer 1

In my post-receive:

#!/bin/sh
cd ..
env -i git reset --hard

Well, in .git/config:

[receive]
  denyCurrentBranch = ignore

Works great, quite satisfied. Directly from the IDE push to the production branch - and you're done.
I don't think there's a definitive answer to what's right and what's wrong.

Answer 2

1) It is possible to use an IDE, for example, Phpstorm has to do upload and show diffs;
2) You can use git hooks, use a central repository, or like nazarpc ;
3) You can use CI;
1 - useful only if the team is 1 developer.
2 is quite easy to set up.
3 - convenient when, in addition to copying, some other manipulations are performed on the code.
2nd and 3rd options - it would be nice to be able to configure for general development.
PS "Correctly and conveniently" are relative and subjective concepts.
