# git_repo_web_sync

Simple php script that after being requested syncs git repo with a catalog on the server

```php
<?php
// --- CONFIGURATION ---
$allowedToken = "PUT YOUR TOKEN HERE";
$repoUrl = "PUT GIT REPO URL HERE";
$targetDir = "/path/to/your/www/root";
$branch = "NAME OF THE BRANCH"; 

// --- 1. AUTHENTICATION ---
$token = $_GET['s'] ?? null;

if ($token !== $allowedToken) {
    http_response_code(403);
    echo "<h1 style='color:red;'>Access Denied</h1>";
    echo "<p>Invalid or missing synchronization token.</p>";
    exit;
}

echo "<h2>Starting Synchronization...</h2>";
echo "<hr>";

// --- 2. FORCE CLEANUP STRATEGY (KEEP DIRECTORY, WIPE CONTENTS) ---
if (is_dir($targetDir)) {
    echo "<p>Target directory exists. Cleaning contents (including hidden files)...</p>";
    
    // HOW: 
    // 1. cd into the directory
    // 2. rm -rf * .* (excluding . and .. which is x_x)
    // I use a subshell (cd ... && ...) to ensure we only delete inside targetDir
    
    // Note: I must be very careful with '.*'. I excluded '.' and '..' manually.
    // Command: find . -mindepth 1 -delete is safer and handles hidden files WHICH IS IMPORTANT.
    
    $cleanCmd = "cd " . escapeshellarg($targetDir) . " && find . -mindepth 1 -delete";
    
    exec($cleanCmd, $cleanOut, $cleanStatus);
    
    if ($cleanStatus !== 0) {
