864Pulling a GitHub Repository with Tokens & Webhooks
Here is how to sync a Wordpress Theme from Github to your own server:
Create a Personal Access Token on GitHub
Webhook on GitHub:
https://www.trembl.org/update.php
Webhook on GitHub for .htaccess protected directory:
https://username:passwd@www.trembl.org/update.php
initialise:
cd $temp_dir
git init // initialize git
git pull https://{$token}@github.com/{$repo}
update.php:
<?php
// path to local tmp directory $temp_dir = '/my/local/tmp/directory/';
// path to local theme directory $theme_dir = "/my/local/theme/directory/";
// access token from GitHub $token = 'abcdefghijk';
// Repo $repo = 'github.com/trembl/SuperNiceRepo.git';
// - - - - -
// change to local git directory chdir($temp_dir);
// resets local git echo exec('git reset --hard 2>&1') . ", ";
// get latest from github echo exec("git pull https://$token@$repo 2>&1");
// delete theme dir echo "\n\nDeleting Theme Directory.\n"; echo exec("rm -rf $theme_dir"); // deletes all files within the directory
// Copying Theme from $temp_dir to $theme_dir echo "\n\nCopying Theme from tmp folder to wp-content.\n";
echo exec("cp -a $temp_dir/* $theme_dir");
// cp -a $temp_dir/* copies everything except invisible files, like .git
?>
update.php protected by .htaccess? 860 Access a URL behind htaccess/htpasswd
Protect update.php ONLY with .htaccess? 940 Protecting a Single File with .htaccess
Q & A
I get the following error message:
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
That means git is not initalized. Run git init
