How to setup GIT on Production

Setup GIT on production is depned on SSH key. Your cPanel should have SSH acces. Please follow the steps bellow:

Generate SSH key on Cpanel
- Goto <domainname>./cpanel
- Goto SSH Access→Manage SSH Keys→Generate a New Key
- Name the ssh key as <username>_ssh_key; Save the password on lastpass and generate
- Authorize Public Key
- Download Private Key

Add SSH key on Local

Save private key on your local .ssh folder. MAC .ssh folder: /Users/<your_username>/.ssh. Windows .ssh folder: C:\Users\<your_username>\.ssh

Open Terminal and type

$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/<username>_ssh_key

Example

$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/griglia_ssh_key

After successfull add you should get

Identity added: /Users/xamin05/.ssh/griglia_ssh_key (/Users/xamin05/.ssh/griglia_ssh_key)

If you receive this:

Permissions 0666 for '/Users/xamin05/.ssh/griglia_ssh_key' are too open. It is required that your private key files are NOT accessible by others. This private key will be ignored.

Fix the permission by this:

chmod 0600 /users/xamin05/.ssh/griglia_ssh_key

Now you can login to production SSH from Local:

$ ssh <username>@<domain name>

Example:

$ ssh This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Git folder setup on Production

Open Production file manager; Place .git folder to one level up from public_html folder

Open .git/config; Add worktree and receive. Example config file:

[core] 
  repositoryformatversion = 0 
  filemode = false 
  bare = false 
  logallrefupdates = true 
  symlinks = false 
  ignorecase = true 
  worktree = /home/grigliac/public_html 

[gitflow "branch"] 
  master = master 

[receive] 
  denyCurrentBranch = updateinstead

Create .git file inside public_html and pointing it to .git folder. Example .git file:
1. ```
gitdir: /home/grigliac/.git
```

Adding Production GIT on Sourcetree:

Open Sourcetree
Goto Settings→Remotes→Add
Add Remote Name: Production

Add URL/Path. Example:

ssh://This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it./home/grigliac/.git

Now you can push pre to Production after Release.
After push, login to Production SSH. and run:
```
$ git checkout -f master
```
Should be Release before push to production
