Question

I have a production server from some hosting company, so I can’t put a git repository there.

I want to check the differences between my latest version in code to the prod server sources(its a php site).

I think that someone changed stuff at prod without update it in git. how can I check this stuff?
And maybe merge the changes or something ?

Any guides suggestions ?

My version control is git, the site is a cakephp based site.

Make sure you have clean repository (i.e. commit all your changes so that you don’t lose them) and copy the code from the server to your local repository. You can then inspect the changes (using git diff or gitk) and commit them (or not).
