My need would be to figure out if I can do something like this (keeping in mind the answer of @jrtapsell described here):
- I would like to install Git directly on the server where I currently host the three versions of the app I am developing (this is a Linux server, where each version is a separate host from the other, so, for example,
/home/develop/public_htmlcontains the files of develop version the same way astestingandproduction) - I would like to eliminate, at this point, totally having to use something to execute SFTP upload of files already handled with Git
- Ideally, therefore, I would like each host to be part of the same Git repository, so I can automatically send the files to each one without needing to upload with SFTP
At this point I wonder: is it possible to work with such a workflow? And, above all, can each host be a portion of the same repository?
Thanks so much.

Why aren't you already using branches for each version? – xenoid – 2017-09-13T09:23:52.990
I'm still not very practical about git: branches can certainly work on the same web host (so where all three versions of the software are under the same Linux account, as described here) but I do not know if it can run on separate hosts (

/home/{develop|testing|production}/public_htmlthen you would have a single repository somewhere outside of these three, and something that checks out a given branch and copies it to/home/{develop|testing|production}/public_htmlperiodically or on demand (with some continuous integration software you can even have this triggered by a commit to the branch, or you can do it yourself with git hooks on the server)). – xenoid – 2017-09-13T12:24:09.903It could be a great solution! Do you have any scripts / software / hook to advise me for periodic checks? – mimet – 2017-09-13T15:24:48.820
