Ok, I am trying to auto deploy my node.js application with git.
This is what I have on my server:
/home/git/myproj.git - bare repo
/home/me/public_html - cloned repo of the aforementioned bare repo
Now the problem is, I cannot pull from myproj.git/hooks/post-receive because the push to the repo is made as the git user so I have permissions problem. I have also tried some deployment scripts but I have been facing a lot of permissions issues.
I have heard of tools like capistrano, fabric, gitolite, but I guess it's too complex for me atm, and I want something easier (very easy to setup, and keep on replicating in multiple projects).
I hope I made myself clear. I think this problem is related - Auto deployment PHP script using Gitolite - but I am not using gitolite and his answer doesn't make sense to me (probably because his English is not too well).
I first started with git and post-recieve hooks myself but didn't really like them. I then switched to a very simple bash script. Even if you don't use the script it's only like 200 lines in total so it's great to steal some snippets from.
