Why not use git?
- Already__Taken 10y agoSometimes your cheap shared hosts don't have git on the other end.
- tonyplee 10y agoYou should try Digital Ocean $5/month. Have root access, etc. Is there a shared host cheaper than that?
- vially 10y agoI don't know if there is any shared host cheaper than that (I suppose there are but I'm too lazy to check right now), but sometimes the appeal in using a shared host is in some of their features which you don't get in a VPS (e.g.: cpanel).
- tonyplee 10y agoAlso be very careful, with "Dirty COW" hack, anyone can become root as long as they can run their own binary on any shared host.
- eugeneionesco 10y agoHow can I use git to connect remotely to a server and edit a file?
- codedokode 10y agoGit deployment requires you to make commits. I prefer having a find + rsync based script that finds modified files and uploads them via SSH.
