dmcglone Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hello all, I am in need of a Git or CVS for my projects, but I don't know where to start. I'm not even sure if it's possible to install Git on my shared hosting that uses cPanel. Anyone have any tips or advise?

KevinM1 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Why can't you just use git on your dev machine and push to either GitHub or BitBucket? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/278339-git-on-cpanel/#findComment-1431978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenLiam Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I don't think you can install Git on a shared hosting environment. You would need root access to install the git binaries alone.

dmcglone Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Why can't you just use git on your dev machine and push to either GitHub or BitBucket? I was thinking easier updating of websites that I work on for people, because lately it's started to become a hassle remembering what has been changed and what needs uploading via ftp. But last night I spoke to my hosting provider and they are putting me on a new server tonight with Git and retiring my current server, so I should have Git by tomorrow morning. :-) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/278339-git-on-cpanel/#findComment-1432176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ankur0101 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 With controlled SSH, we can use git server. Example : fortrabbit.com Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/278339-git-on-cpanel/#findComment-1440784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I would imagine that your shared hosting provider will only be installing the Git client, not the server. You still need a Git server, like GitHub, BitBucket, or Gitosis installed locally.

Github and the like are just web interfaces to a git repository. You still push via ssh (or https if you wish).
