Question

I’ve already created two repositories – a local(on my machine) and a remote (from a live server). The remote one is a bare repository. The files are all HTML files.

Now my question is, how can I use those files I pushed to the remote one so that they may be accessible through the web? Should I create another repository from the live server and pull that one from a bare repository? Or will symlink work for this?

Answer 1

I was able to solve my issue by cloning my remote repo.

e.g.

my remote repo is located in

/home/user/repo/mywebsite.git

so inside my

/var/www/mywebsite

I did git clone /home/user/repo/mywebsite.git .

Then if I push to my remote repo which is /home/user/repo/mywebsite.git,
I’ll just do git pull in /var/www/mywebsite

I hope this will help those having same issue as me because git-daemon didn’t work well for me.
