How to ssh into your server for github deployment
ssh into the server with terminal commands:
ssh [email protected]
cd / (brings you to the root)
cd var/www/live
ls (displays contents in that folder)
I then did terminal commands (disregard this):
git init
touch .gitignore
touch README.md
git remote set-url origin [email protected]:your/repo.git
I then opened up another terminal window and ssh'd into the server again:
cd .ssh
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (to display ssh key)
Copy and paste the ssh key into my github account under settings > SSH & GPG Keys
Now push and pull away:
git push -u origin master
git pull -u origin master
exit (to close ssh connection)
