I just started (barely) to somewhat understand and use git. I’m using github and cloud9 IDE.

I figured out how to save (commit and then push ?) files to the github repository…

question:

Is there a command that will upload (and overwrite) files from my git to my ftp server where my website is hosted?

I’ve checked this question, but I’m not sure I want a .git on my server (unless I can still run my site off it).

I’ve also checked this question, but I’m not sure I can install anything on my server.

Is this not as simple as I thought it would be?

Any help is much appreciated.

    Git is not an FTP client. But you could create a post-commit hook to do this. A git hook is a shell script which is executed with certain actions. You could use this to upload all of your source files to your FTP server when you do a commit. For more information about hooks, see:
