git-auto-deploy

This is a simple PHP script. Automatically pull from a repository to a web server (using a webhook on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) and support git branch

1 - On the server

Here we install and setup git on the server, we also create an SSH key so the server can talk to the origin without using passwords etc

Install and Setup git

Check is git installed before ?

git --version

- Generate a deploy public key for apache user

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Copy public key

Go to ssh directory and find id_rsa.pub file copy content in clipboard.

2 - On your origin (github, gitlab, bitbucket, ...)

Add the SSH key to your user

Paste the deploy key you generated on the server before

Set up service hook

Enter the URL to your deployment script - http://server.com/deploy.php

3 - On the Server

Here we clone the origin repo into a chmodded /var/www/html folder you might clone it somewhere else

Pull from origin

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
sudo -Hu www-data git clone git@github.com:you/server.git /var/www/html
