For updating your Django (or any) application directly when you push to your git repository, | |
I prefer the method described at: | |
http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto | |
In a nutshell, you would create a post-receive hook that looks something like: | |
#!/bin/sh | |
GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/username/webapps/django/myproject git checkout -f | |
GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/username/webapps/django/myproject git reset --hard | |
Replacing "username" with your username, "django" with your django web application's name, | |
and "myproject" with the django project name. | |
You would specifically be committing the django project to git ("myproject" in this example), | |
and not the entire /home/username/webapps/django application directory (which includes extra | |
things such as the private apache server which runs your application). | |
The post-receive hook to update would be the file at: | |
/home/username/webapps/git/repos/djangorepo.git/hooks/post-receive | |
where "username" is your username, "git" is your git application's name, and "djangorepo.git" | |
is the name of the git repository you're using for your django project directory. | |
You will also need to ensure that the hook is executable: | |
chmod +x /home/username/webapps/git/repos/djangorepo.git/hooks/post-receive | |
Hope that helps! |

I've tried now for several hours understanding how to use Git with webfaction. | |
And even with the documentation I cannot get it to work. | |
I have a Django app at: webapps/django_app/project_name/ | |
I have a Git repo at: webapps/git_app/repos/my_repo.git | |
I assume the following workflow: | |
Make som local changes | |
Push it to git_app | |
Clone/pull to django _app from git _app. | |
Is this correct ? (New to git) | |
Problem: | |
How do i copy the django_app content over to my local repo? | |
How do I push my local changes over to git_app | |
How do I get the git _app files over to django _app? | |
Some really newbie questions there, but hope to get some help! |
