  • 0

I’ve got a local branch (master), a GitHub repo (origin), and another remote repo (server). I’ve set up my remote so locally I can type git push server master and push the changes to server/master.

When I type git log -1 locally and on the server they return the same commit, but none of the changes I made locally are visible on the server.

I deployed my app with Capistrano so redeploying it makes the changes visible immediately, but I don’t want to have to redeploy every time I make a change.

Any idea what’s going on here? I’m rather new to Git. Hopefully it’s something easy to fix.

    It sounds to me that you maybe looking at a different directory than your web server is pointed to.

    When I setup capistrano:

    cap deploy:setup
#then
cap deploy

    it creates a directory structure similar to:

    /releases (each deploy gets its own randome number directory)
/current (a sym-link to the latest release)
/shared

    None of these folder are tied to git. Which makes me think your webserver may not be pointed to the same directory that you’re using with git.

    You may find cap deploy is preferable as you’ll be able to see the output if there are any issues.

    I’m not a huge expert but the above is how I’ve setup rails with Capistrano.
