copied!<p>This is pretty easy to achieve and is nothing specific to GIT, but depends on your webserver settings and the deployment process for your app. 2 easy steps:</p> <ol> <li>Configure your web server to serve both www.foobar.com and beta.foobar.com. Serve the different domains from different web-roots, e.g. main app from <code>/var/www/foobar.com/app/public</code> and subdomain from <code>/var/www/foobar.com/subdomains/beta/public</code></li> <li>For deployment, simply clone the master branch into <code>.../app/public</code> directory and the beta branch into <code>.../subdomains/beta/public</code></li> </ol> <p>The process can also be automated with tools like <a href="https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano" rel="nofollow">Capistrano</a> and the <a href="https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/wiki/2.x-Multistage-Extension" rel="nofollow">multistage extension</a>.</p> <p><strong>EDIT in response to your comment:</strong></p> <p>In a serious project that you are not just doing for yourself, <strong>you should never update the files that are currently deployed</strong>. Here is the proposed setup:</p> <ol> <li>Have a bare git repository - either accessible on your server or on github.com (or any other provider)</li> <li>Clone the repository on your development machine - this is the code you'll be working on</li> <li>Suppose a change in the beta branch: push that change</li> <li>Now you can clone your beta branch of the bare repository into your deployment path for beta</li> <li>Whenever you feel ready: pull beta into master (on your dev machine)</li> <li>Push master</li> <li>Deploy master by cloning bare repository master branch into deployment path for master</li> </ol> <p>As noted above, tools like capistrano make deployment dead simple and they can even keep a history of your different deployments. Look at <a href="http://www.davegardner.me.uk/blog/2012/02/13/php-deployment-with-capistrano/" rel="nofollow">this post</a> for example to see how it is used for PHP deployments.</p>
