How Can I Automatically Update My Website from a Git Repository?
Asked by

I'm currently learning React and building a simple portfolio website. I've bought a domain and hosting on Namecheap to get started with showcasing my work for internships. While developing, I've been testing my site using LambdaTest instead of exposing my local server for security reasons, but manually updating the files on the server is becoming a hassle. Is there a way to directly sync my cPanel hosting with my Git repository? Thanks and happy new year!

If you’re okay with a VPS instead of shared hosting, you could set up GitHub Actions to push changes to your VPS. It’s cost-effective, and the flexibility can make a big difference.

If you're hosting your repository on GitHub, you can set up GitHub Actions to automatically copy your files whenever you push to the main branch. A tool like scp-action could really simplify this process for you.

GitHub Pages is another option, especially if your repo is already on GitHub. It allows for a smooth setup with automatic deployments when you push to the master branch.
