Git Multi-Branch Deployment

Acerca de

Streamlines the process of setting up Git repositories that automatically deploy content from different branches to specific web-accessible directories. This skill provides expert guidance on configuring bare repositories, implementing robust post-receive hooks, managing SSH authentication, and optimizing web server configurations for branch-specific environments. It is an essential resource for developers building self-hosted deployment pipelines where pushes to different branches (like main, dev, or staging) need to reflect immediately in corresponding server directories served by Nginx or Apache.
