If you upload files frequently to your web server, you’ll know how much of a pain it can be to upload only the files needed. I had resorted to another method of zipping everything on my computer, upload to the server, then extract from there replacing all my files. But\u00a0as a lazy guy<\/a>, this was simply unacceptable! And guess what? I found the perfect solution.<\/p>\n

\"git-ftp\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
git-ftp<\/span><\/b> (GitHub repo<\/a>)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, i install git-ftp on my Kubuntu.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You need to have an ftp account created on your web server.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Initially you need to push using this command<\/div>\n
\n
git ftp init -u <user> -p - ftp:\/\/host.example.com\/public_html<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Everytime your mates or yourself commit\/push to your remote \u00a0git repository, you run these 2 lines and the changes get reflected on your live server in less than 2 mins. \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n
\n
git pull origin master<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
\n
git ftp push --user <user> --passwd <password> ftp:\/\/host.example.com\/public_html<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
It uploads only files that has been changed. It’s almost like magic. LOL \ud83d\ude1b<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You can even create a shell script for these 2 lines if you’re like lazy to the extreme. But i just press the up button in my terminal and the codes are already here. \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
