PHP script to automate deploy using Git

deploy.php

<?php

/**
 * This scripts is intended to be triggered by Git hooks. For deployment you'll
 * probably want to use `post-update`:
 * http://schacon.github.io/git/githooks.html#post-update
 *
 * First, set the `PASS` constant to limit access to this script and use it as
 * a `pass` GET variable.
 *
 * Here's an example of a `post-update` script for deployment when pushing only
 * to the branch master. Edit the `your-repository/.git/hooks/post-update`
 * file, and make it executable.
 *
 *     #!/bin/sh
 *     case " $* " in
 *     *' refs/heads/master '*)
 *         curl -s http://your-website/deploy.php?pass=<value of PASS constant>
 *         ;;
 *     esac
