Using Git With Namecheap Web Hosting

Overview

I'm not sure this is possible with shared servers. I know I read in their forums at one point that they did not support it, but I just looked again and found this in the forums: Using Git on Namecheap - what is the remote path?

The status message that git give in response to the command seems normal, but no files are updated.

I think this is because the Git repository on damienjay.com is not synced to the repo on the development server. This seems like it's only possible with a git clone from the production server, but I haven't been able to get that to work yet.

Git push

> git push ssh://username@server56.web-hosting.com:21098/home/username/public_html/path/to/git/project [branch]

N.B. server56 in the domain in the example above is probably not going to be the correct subdomain. It's necessary to confirm that with CPanel.

Git pull

The ssh server has to be running on littledamienii.

• Bitvise SSH Server (formerly WinSSHD)
  • Bitvise SSH Server does not start up automatically.
  • Manually start server: Server tab > Start WinSSHD
  • N.B. that it is not using the default port number.
• Router
  • The ssh port has to be enabled on the router.
