Use rsync to sync your project to server. Use syncd to automate it.

attaching installation process

  1. Install rsync

  2. Get syncd from https://github.com/codeasashu/syncd.git (branch: direction)

  3. copy syncd and watch.sh to /usr/local/bin so you can execute it directly in terminal cp syncd /usr/local/bin cp watch.sh /usr/local/bin

  4. Create your project directory anywhere on system. For ex- I created project abc in /var/www/html

  5. in /var/www/html/abc, create syncd.conf(use the one from clone above)

  6. Modify SSH access and put any key file if you use for authentication.

  7. First set REMOTE_TO_LOCAL=true to fetch all the files and data from remote to local

  8. Set REMOTE_TO_LOCAL=false now. Start editing.

  9. When finished editing, just open terminal and run these:

cd /var/www/html/abc
syncd run

It will update your changes to remote.

NOTE: Remember to have backup of remote files before using this process
