copied!<p>Copying the answer straight from the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5703324/cannot-git-clone-a-folder-on-a-server-and-then-edit-and-git-push">related question</a> where you already got it:</p> <p>You have two options:</p> <ol> <li><p>Make a bare repository (<code>mysite.com.git</code>) and a non-bare repository (<code>mysite.com</code>). In the bare repository, add a <code>post-update</code> hook to <code>git --git-dir=.../mysite.com pull</code></p> <p>Note, that you may want to create the non-bare repository by cloning from the bare one with <code>-s</code> flag or set up <code>.git/objects/info/alternates</code> afterwards to avoid copying all the data.</p></li> <li><p>Make just one repository and:</p> <ol> <li><p>Detach the head: <code>git checkout master@{0}</code></p></li> <li><p>Add a <code>post-update</code> hook to <code>git merge master</code></p></li> </ol> <p>The reason here is that git refuses to modify the checked-out branch, but if you uncheckout the branch, you will be able to push. And you will be able to update the working directory from a hook (hook is a script placed in <code>hooks</code> directory in the repository). You can either create a separate branch and check out that, or you can use the "detached HEAD" state (as suggested above—git remembers which branch is checked out by having a special reference "HEAD" that points to the branch, but if you check out something, that is not a branch, it is made to point to a revision directly and that's called a "detached branch" and since no branch is checked out, allows you to push to any of them).</p></li> <li><p>Make just one repository and:</p> <ol> <li><p>Turn off the push-to-checked-out-branch check.</p></li> <li><p>Add a <code>post-update</code> hook to <code>git reset --hard</code> to re-checkout the branch when pushed.</p></li> </ol> <p>This option is only valid for read-only access, because the hook will discard any local changes each time you push.</p></li> </ol> <p>If it's just check out and have it accessed read-only, the second option is slightly more efficient, but if you run some other commands on the working directory, the first is safer (you can wipe and re-create the working copy without worrying about the main repo). See also <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5219975/git-remote-for-testing">this question</a>.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> added third option.</p>
