Question

So I’ve begun using git and I want to create a script that deploys a specific branch…

my file structure usually has a repos folder below the document_root where my repo’s for a specific site is located… and then I have the public_html folder there as well..

Keep in mind I’ve been using git and everything for about 4 days now…

So i’m thinking my command would be something like:

git deploy <branch> <location to deploy to>

Any ideas?

You probably want to look at the git archive command.

For instance:

~/site1-repo $ git archive master | tar -xC /path/to/site1/public_html

would export the contents of the master branch of the repo at ~/site1-repo, into the public_html folder of site1.
