Overview
The GitTM Version Control feature of Webuzo allows you to manage Webuzo managed repositories. You can automatically or manually deploy changes to the Webuzo managed repositories.
For example, you could use deployment to make changes to your website locally. Then, automatically send them to a directory on your Webuzo enduser account.
Requirements
Before deployment, repositories must meet the following requirements:
- A valid checked-in
.deploy.jsonfile in the top-level directory. - One or more local or remote branches.
- A clean working tree.
The deployment JSON file
The .deploy.json file determines how and where the changed files deploy. You must check a .deploy.json file in to the top-level directory for each Webuzo managed repository that you deploy. The .deploy.json file must use the format in the examples below.
{
"DEPLOYPATH" : "/home/user/git_repo", // DEPLOYPATH : where changes will be deployed
"task" : {
"0" : "index.php", // This will deploy only index.php file
"1" : "images", // This will deploy Entire images Directory with all its files
}
}NOTE : The file above is only example. You must update it to suit your needs.
Important : We recommend you to not use a wildcard character, such as an asterisk, to deploy all files. This could deploy items like the .git directory and cause serious problems.
