repository in different directories

Hi, I'm using git to build a website using the Codeigniter php framework. I work on my local machine and then push to a remote server. The whole website would be divided in different directories. I have the webroot in /home/carlo/public_html/ directory. Here I have an index.php, the css files and images. Then, outside this directory, I have the application folder with all the real php stuff. Suppose it is in /home/carlo/ci/application.

I have the same configuration on the server. So, the workflow would be that I work on my local machine, I change something in the application folder, then something in some css file and then I have to sync everything with the server. I can have two repositories, one for the folder in the webroot and another one for the application folder, but then I'd have to push twice. Is there a better or a good way to do all this?

Thanks, Carlo

Yeah: use static webpages without images. :-)

Ah, and for wrong: how about using one repository and setting up a commit hook to move files to final places?

the commit hook should stay in the local or the remote machine?

On your machine and the server make hard links from the folders in the repository to the destination folders, that way when you check out the latest version then both locations are updated.

So have /home/carlo/dev.repo/.git /home/carlo/dev.repo/public_html/ linked to /home/carlo/public_html/ /home/carlo/dev.repo/applications/ linked to /home/carlo/ci/application

you can then work in the same place as usual, but do your commits from the dev.repo folder.

My $0.02 solution.
