GIT add production server

Question

I have a production server where I work without using GIT, I have the files on my PC and upload updates with filezilla.

I discovered git and I would use it as a replacement for filezilla.

I already configured git on the PC and I did a push of all the project files in the repository, now I do not know what to do to configure updates on the production server.

Try to clone your remote repository on the production server with SSH access. — Weenesta - Mathieu Dormeval, Nov 17 '16 at 15:46

The legacy way is to define a bare repo on your server and push to that bare repo, combined with a post-receive hook to checkout the received files in the folder of your choice/

But with Git 2.3+, if you want, you can:

initialize a repo directly on the target folder in your server,
add and commit everything

set:

git config receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead

clone that repo on your local PC.
I assume you can use the same ssh access you must have set in filezilla:
```
git clone user@server:/path/to/git/repo
```
make new commits,
push directly to a non-bare repo

you mean to push the files to the repository from the production server instead from my pc and then clone from repository to my pc...right? – user1739269 Nov 18 '16 at 15:12
Yes, but once cloned on your PC, you can work and push back from your PC. – VonC Nov 18 '16 at 16:53
