Inspired by http://toroid.org/git-website-howto.

Step 1: Create Git repository, on your server:

cd ~/git/
mkdir wp-theme-ttnet.git && cd wp-theme-ttnet.git
git init --bare
# Enable symlinks (I use this in _plugins/symlink for my subdomains)
git config core.symlinks true

Step 2: Create a plain directory, on your server, to be the recipient of deployments:

cd ~/git-deploy/
mkdir wp-theme-ttnet

Step 3: Create a post-receive hook in the Git repository. This hook is a shell script that the server will execute after you push a Git commit to it. The script will make sure your deployment directory will become a checkout of the latest commit. Remember to mark the post-receive file as executable!

~/git/wp-theme-ttnet/$ cat hooks/post-receive

#!/bin/sh
export GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/deb35044/git-deploy/wp-theme-ttnet/

# Workaround bad sshd/umask default (RHEL8, Antagonist).
echo "[krinkle] setting umask to 0002..."
umask 0002

git checkout -f

~/git/wp-theme-ttnet$ chmod +x hooks/post-receive

Done! You can now push to this repository, and a static copy of it will be maintained automatically in the git-deploy directory. I use this method (instead of simply exposing the Git repository from my web server) so that .git is naturally not exposed, and so that there is no Git "working copy" to worry about, which could sometimes get dirty or stuck for some reason.

You would then symlink to ~/git-deploy/wp-theme-ttnet/ from the appropiate place under public_html/wordpress/wp-content/.

git clone ssh://timotijhof.net/~/git/wp-theme-ttnet.git

or

git remote add web ssh://timotijhof.net/~/git/wp-theme-ttnet.git

Done! You can now git push to deploy any time.
