Making changes to the production server?

Question

Django

Hello! I am developing my blog, after the deployment I make changes mainly through sftp, i.e. I upload all the files directly to the server, tell me how this process can be done using github? And is it possible to specify that some files should not be changed during the update (let's say settings.py - which is clearly different on the production server)?

Answer 1

settings.py - which is clearly different on the production server

no
What is the proper way to store settings in a django project?

git status
git pull
./manage.py collectstatic
./manage.py migrate

sudo service uwsgi restart
sudo service nginx restart
