# GOGS website sync with git repo

how to extract webpage from a git repo and then throw it into root of www server

**Operations listed below need to be done at the backend of the git server !!!!**

```bash
#!/bin/bash

# Configuration: Define pairs of Repository and Destination
# Format: REPOS=("repo_path_1" "repo_path_2" ...)
#         DESTS=("dest_path_1" "dest_path_2" ...)
# The index of the repo matches the index of the destination.

REPOS=(
    "/home/ubuntu/gogs-repositories/user1/webpage.git"
    "/home/ubuntu/gogs-repositories/user2/webpage.git"
    # Add more repos here
)

DESTS=(
    "/var/www/user1.glamour.ovh"
    "/var/www/user2.glamour.ovh"
    # Add more destinations here (must match count of REPOS)
)

# Validate that arrays have the same length
if [ "${#REPOS[@]}" -ne "${#DESTS[@]}" ]; then
    echo "Error: Number of repositories (${#REPOS[@]}) does not match number of destinations (${#DESTS[@]})."
    exit 1
fi

# Iterate through the pairs
for i in "${!REPOS[@]}"; do
    REPO="${REPOS[$i]}"
    DEST="${DESTS[$i]}"
    
    echo "----------------------------------------"
    echo "Deploying: $REPO -> $DEST"
    
    # Check if repo exists
    if [ ! -d "$REPO" ]; then
        echo "Error: Repository path not found: $REPO"
        continue
    fi
    
    # Check if destination exists (create if missing)
    if [ ! -d "$DEST" ]; then
        echo "Creating destination directory: $DEST"
        mkdir -p "$DEST"
    fi

    # Create a temporary directory for this specific deployment
    TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d -t deploy_XXXXXX)
    
    # Extract the archive to the temp directory
    if ! git --git-dir="$REPO" archive HEAD | tar -x -C "$TEMP_DIR/"; then
        echo "Error: Failed to extract archive for $REPO"
        rm -rf "$TEMP_DIR"
        continue
    fi

    # Sync to destination:
    # -a: archive mode (preserves permissions, timestamps, etc.)
    # -v: verbose
    # --delete: removes files in DEST that are not in the source
    if rsync -av --delete "$TEMP_DIR/" "$DEST/"; then
        echo "Successfully deployed $REPO to $DEST"
        chown -R www-data:www-data "$DEST"
    else
        echo "Error: Rsync failed for $REPO"
    fi

    # Cleanup temp directory
    rm -rf "$TEMP_DIR"
done

echo "----------------------------------------"
echo "Deployment process finished."

```

now run `sudo crontab -e` and add this to cron

```txt
*/5 * * * * /path/to/your/script.sh

```
