Simple script to use git instead of SCP for app deployment.

post-receive

#!/bin/sh
# Checkouts the repository into the webserver application folder.
# Inspired by http://www.sitepoint.com/one-click-app-deployment-server-side-git-hooks/ by Matthew Setter.
# The script assumes that the bare repository directory name (somename.git) is same as the deployment
# directory name, just without the .git extension (somename). The destination path (htdocs) needs to be
# changed according to your environment (line 14, DEPLOYPATH variable).
