Hello, I am a totally newbie about Rsync.
I’ve been struggling for A LONG TIME to upload the locally changed files to ftp.
I found several platforms and tutorials people suggest. Like Below…

# How-to setup a simple git push deployment
These are my notes basically. At first i created this gist just as a reminder for myself. But feel free to use this for your project as a starting point. If you have questions you can find me on twitter @thomasf https://twitter.com/thomasf
This is how i used it on a *Debian Wheezy testing* (https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/)

The thing I expect by exploring rsync is that not only my server but also my client can edit and upload some files through panel and the users actually see them on a real time basis.

I’ve searched a lot but still don’t know where to start…! haha:(
Please comment your opinions, Thank you

I personally like and use this setup:

The entire structure of the site lives on github with the exception of a few things for security reasons
All the changes to the site in terms of code are deployed using push to deply
Content is handled using the panel and is backed up separately from the repo

To acomplish that I personally use:

Github
Runcloud
Google Drive

The reason why I do this is becuase I don’t want to have repos with GBs of content in it and I prefer to keep them light with just the site’s structure.

Hello, thank you for your answer!!!
I will check the Runcloud if it works
