Plesk

Git Support

Overview

Plesk allows you to integrate with Git – the most popular source code
management system used by many web developers. You can manage Git
repositories and automatically deploy web sites from such repositories
to a target public directory. In other words, you can use Git as a
transport for initial publishing and further updates.

Note: This feature is not supported in Plesk installations running on
Windows Server 2008.

To work with Git, you need the following:

  1. The Git extension installed in Plesk.
  2. A domain should be created in Plesk with a service plan granting the
    Git management permission.

In Plesk, you can add Git repositories of two types depending on the
usage scenario:

  1. Using a local repository on your workstation. In this case, you
    send the changes from your local repository to Plesk, and then Plesk
    deploys the changes to your web site. Refer to Using local
    repository
    .
  2. Using remote Git hosting. This scenario may be useful if you
    already work with a remote repository in GitHub
    (github.com) or BitBucket
    (bitbucket.org). You send the changes to
    the remote repository, and then Plesk pulls them from the remote
    repository and deploys them to your web site. Refer to Using remote
    Git hosting
    .

When you have Git repositories enabled in your domain, a list of created
repositories is displayed on the domain’s page. For each repository, the
name, the current branch and the deployment path are displayed. The
Deploy button near the repository name allows you to deploy the
files from a repository (if manual deployment is configured) and the
Pull Updates button allows you to pull the changes from the remote
repository.

Note: Currently, Plesk-hosted Git repositories are protected with the FTP
user’s password. Anonymous access cannot be used.

The Git link allows you to manage the domain’s Git repositories.
