I am afraid that I can't understand the approach clearly but I must say that I am hopeful to see a direction. Obviously there will be a central git repo which will have its worktree under htdocs at the same server. That's why the post-receive hook will update the website after each push. But the issue is mapping the structure at git which is different than the structure at filesystem. And a push should reflect to its correct folder only. [git]->[mysite]->dir1/trunk/src => physically map => htdocs/demo/dir1 [git]->[mysite]->dir2/trunk/src => physically map => htdocs/demo/dir2 Please tell me with little more clarification, how can I do this ? -with kind regards
