Normal Repository

• Working tree similar to local
• Need security to protect .git (.htaccess, etc)
• Don't make changes here (dirty up the tree)!

Bare Repository

• Has no working tree
• Usual suggested repository setup
• Repository cloned to seperate folder
• Difficult to do local configuration

Generating SSH Keys

          |ssh-keygen -t rsa
          |# Creates two files - .ssh/id_rsa and .ssh/id_rsa.pub by default
        

Installing SSH Keys

          |ssh remote-server
          |mkdir .ssh
          |chmod u=rwx,go= .ssh
          |touch .ssh/authorized_keys
          |chmod u=rw,go= .ssh/authorized_keys
          |# Open .ssh/authorized_keys and copy contents of your .ssh/id_rsa.pub into it
        

or use ssh-copy-id if your platform supports it

Create remote repository

          |mkdir docroot
          |cd docroot
          |git init .
        

Allow other branches to be pushed

          |git config receive.denyCurrentBranch ignore
        

Add post-receive hook

          |# Transfer post-receive.sh to .git/hooks/post-receive
          |chmod +x .git/hooks/post-receive
        

Add deploy/after_push callback

          |mkdir deploy
          |# Copy after_push.sh to deploy/after_push
          |git add deploy
          |git commit
        

Add remote

          |git remote add production "user@domain.com:/full/path/to-repo"
        

Push master

          |git push production master
