This guide will walk you through the process of deploying a website using Git version control on cPanel. It is divided into three parts: preparing your code application, setting up Git version control in cPanel for public repositories, and configuring access to private repositories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 1: Prepare Your Code Application<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Create a\u00a0.cpanel.yml<\/code>\u00a0File<\/strong>
    To enable deployment via cPanel, you need to create a\u00a0.cpanel.yml<\/code>\u00a0file in the root directory of your application. This file defines the deployment tasks. Here’s how your folder structure will look: <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2. Example\u00a0.cpanel.yml<\/code>\u00a0File<\/strong>
    Below is an example of a\u00a0.cpanel.yml<\/code>\u00a0file. Replace\u00a0\/home\/cpanelusername\/public_html\/<\/code>\u00a0with the appropriate path for your deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    deployment:\n  tasks:\n    - export DEPLOYPATH=\/home\/cpanelusername\/public_html\/\n    - \/bin\/cp index.html $DEPLOYPATH\n    - \/bin\/cp about.html $DEPLOYPATH\n    - \/bin\/cp services.html $DEPLOYPATH\n    - \/bin\/cp contact.html $DEPLOYPATH\n    - \/bin\/cp styles.css $DEPLOYPATH\n    - \/bin\/cp script.js $DEPLOYPATH\n    - \/bin\/cp -r assets\/ $DEPLOYPATH<\/code><\/em><\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    If you’re deploying to a subdomain or addon domain, replace\u00a0public_html<\/code>\u00a0with the appropriate directory name (e.g.,\u00a0\/home\/cpanelusername\/sub.domain.com\/<\/code>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    3. Push Changes to Your Repository<\/strong>
    Commit and push the\u00a0.cpanel.yml<\/code>\u00a0file to your remote repository (GitHub or GitLab). If you\u2019ve already pushed changes, simply add the\u00a0.cpanel.yml<\/code>\u00a0file and update the repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Part 2: Set Up Git Version Control in cPanel (Public Repositories)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Log in to cPanel<\/strong>
        Access your cPanel account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Navigate to Git Version Control<\/strong>
        In the cPanel dashboard, locate and click on the\u00a0Git Version Control<\/strong>\u00a0icon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Create a Repository<\/strong>\n
