Remote Repository on Deployment Server⌗

Create two folders named project.git and project.source. Create a bare git repo in project.git

git init --bare

Configure project.source as working folder for source code by adding below to project.git/hooks/post-receive

#!/bin/sh
git --work-tree=/{{path}}/project.source --git-dir=/{{path}}/project.git checkout -f

Change file persion to 755 to make it executable.

chmod 755 project.git/hooks/post-receive

Add a remote to local repo

git remote add dev git+ssh://{{user}}@{{server}}/{{path}}/project.git

Above steps are generic to any kind of project as it simply transfers the code to the server. The latest version of the source code will be available in the working folder after each push.

git push dev master

Deployment using Hooks⌗

Steps to install dependencies, build, test, deploy can be added to the post-receive hook script which will be executed every time the source code is pushed.

#!/bin/sh
git --work-tree=/{{path}}/project.source --git-dir=/{{path}}/project.git checkout -f

# Steps to build and deploy nodejs application
cd /{{path}}/project.source
npm install
npm run build
pm2 restart node_app
