Deploy branch from intermediate bare git repo

by

Updated: 09 November 2023

Scenario

  1. I have a project on BitBucket.
  2. I work on this project locally.
  3. I want to deploy the changes to Production.
  4. Rather than pulling changes directly from Bitbucket to the working directory on the Production server, I need to go via a bare-repo on the Production server. The bare repo has been cloned from BitBucket earlier. This workflow is similar to deployments on Cloudways or Plesk.

Method

1. Push changes from local to BitBucket as normal.

2. From inside the bare repo directory on the Prod server, fetch all the changes from BitBucket

cd /bare/repo/my-proj.git
git fetch origin *:*

3. Transfer the changes to the working directory

cd /anywhere/on/the/system
git --work-tree /path/deploy/dir --git-dir /bare/repo/my-proj.git checkout --force my-branch

Tuxedo laptop with Windows in Virtual Box.

Updated: 08 November 2023

I’ve had trouble running a Windows VM inside Virtual box on my Tuxedo laptop. The VM frequently crashes and sometimes consumes all the RAM of my host laptop also, requiring a restart.

Two good pieces of advice I’ve had from Tuxedo support:

  1. Turn off 3D acceleration: Virtual Box > The VM > Settings > Display > Enable 3D Acceleration.
  2. Limit the CPU the guest is able to use to 75%.
