I'm looking for a way to maintain a website build with FuelPHP, with git. My starting point is this guide: http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto
Combined with this tutorial: http://blip.tv/fuelphp/creating-a-fuelphp-application-repository-5688973 My dream workflow would be something like this:
I develop my code on my local machine, when done, I push to my git remote named "testing".
I then go to my testing url, ex: testing.example.com When I think it seems to be working I push to my git remote named "live".
I then got to my live website at: example.com. In commands it would be something like this:

*edit files*
git add .
git commit -m "Made changes bla bla bla"
git push testing master
*tests testing.example.com*
*seems to be working*
*makes a few changes so I can commit*
git add .
git commit -m "Go live bla bla"
git push live master
*goes to example.com*
*whooaa!*

By following the "Using Git to manage a web site"-guide, I have created a post-receive hook, which in someway works.
The only thing missing in my website folder is all of the submodules:
- fuel/core
- fuel/packages/* I tried adding: git submodule update --init
But then I end up with: "You need to run this command from the toplevel of the working tree". If anyone could help my make this dream workflow become a reality, I would be extremely grateful!
Best regards,
- Henning

If I understood well, your problem is to run git submodule update --init from the post-receive hook?

Henning

Yeah, I get: "You need to run this command from the toplevel of the working tree"

Julian Esperat

I don't know what you have in your post-receive hook, but maybe just changethe directory before updating the submodules. Like

cd /path/to/you/project && git submodule update --init

I tried that and I got something like:
- "You need to run this command from the toplevel of the working tree" I did however figure out a way to do it. I went in to /var/www/myFuelPHPApp
And did a git clone and a git submodule init followed by git submodule update.
And I also believe that I did git submodule foreach git checkout 1.1/develop && git submodule foreach git pull origin 1.1/develop My post-receive hook looks like this now:

#!/bin/sh
unset $(git rev-parse --local-env-vars)
cd /var/www/myFuelPHPApp
sudo -u www-data git reset --hard HEAD
sudo -u www-data git pull
sudo -u www-data git submodule foreach git pull origin 1.1/develop

Notes
I added this line to /etc/sudoers

git ALL = (www-data) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/git

I did that because I had some problems with permissions and stuff.
Furthermore I added www-data to the "git"-group, and now it all seems to work.
I just need to deny access to the git files and folders, like .git etc.
