Drawing a blank with finalizing my deploy scheme here. After posting this question: Migrating a production site with no VCS at all to Git, I've got the gist of deploying to a local repo down.
My local development server has a git-flow repository on it that I can push to and it will update an external worktree.
I have my repo set up with git-flow and here's what my origin remote looks like:
$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
Fetch URL: ssh://user@host/var/git/dev/repo.git
Push URL: ssh://user@host/var/git/dev/repo.git
HEAD branch (remote HEAD is ambiguous, may be one of the following):
develop
master
Remote branches:
develop tracked
master tracked
Local branch configured for 'git pull':
master merges with remote master
Local refs configured for 'git push':
develop pushes to develop (up to date)
master pushes to master (up to date)
What I attempted to do, was set up 2 pseudo-environments. One for staging and one for production. I want to have them behave as follows:
git push staging #pushes to remote staging repo with a post-receive hook "git checkout develop -f"
git push production #pushes to remote production repo with a post-receive hook "git checkout master -f"
This way, we can develop locally and push to our little internal development server and have all the history. Then when we're clear for staging/production, we just push out the appropriate branches.
I tried creating bare repos with separate work trees like I did with the development server (see my link at the beginning of the post), and simply did:
git push staging develop
git push production master
And here are the remotes, respectively:
$ git remote show staging
* remote staging
Fetch URL: ssh://user
