1. Copy over your <code>.git</code> directory to your web server

: Make sure to disallow access to any files within the <code>.git</code> directory!
: Put an <code>.htaccess</code> file in the <code>.git</code> directory with
:<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
deny from all
</syntaxhighlight>

2. On your local copy, modify your .git/config file and add your web server as a remote:
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
[remote "production"]
    url = username@webserver:/path/to/htdocs/.git
</syntaxhighlight>
3. On the server, replace .git/hooks/post-update with [http://littled.dbarchowsky.com/wiki/upload/post-update this file]

4. Add execute access to the file (again, on the server):

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
chmod +x .git/hooks/post-update
</syntaxhighlight>

5. Now, just locally push to your web server and it should automatically update the working copy:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
git push production
</syntaxhighlight>
