Git Ftp
git-ftp is a tool that synchronizes files to an FTP server by comparing Git commit histories. It tracks the last deployed Git commit on the server and uses git diff to determine which files have changed, uploading only those files incrementally. The entire tool is implemented as a single-file Bash script, making it portable and dependency-free across Unix systems.
The tool supports deploying any Git branch, tag, or commit to an FTP server, enabling rollbacks to previous versions and switching between different environments such as staging and production. It uses raw socket connections and standard FTP protocol commands without external dependencies, and stores the last deployed commit hash on the server to enable efficient incremental uploads.
The project covers the full workflow of Git-based FTP deployment, from branch-specific site deployment to historical commit rollback, all through a command-line interface that operates on the principle of uploading only changed files.
Features
- FTP Deployment Integrations - Uploads only changed files to an FTP server by comparing Git commits, saving bandwidth and time.
- Git-Based Incremental Uploads - Transfers only files changed since the last deployment by comparing Git commits.
- Git-Based Deployment - Deploys any Git branch, tag, or commit to an FTP server, enabling rollbacks and environment switching.
- FTP Deployment Tools - Uploads only changed files to an FTP server by comparing the current Git commit with a stored commit ID.
- Git Deployment Integrations - Deploys any branch or historical commit to an FTP server for rollbacks and environment switching.
- Incremental Commit Deployments - Uploads only files changed since the last deployment by comparing the current commit with a stored commit ID.
- FTP Clients - Ships a built-in FTP client that uploads files using raw socket connections and standard protocol commands.
- Git-Commit-Based FTP Uploads - Deploys any Git branch or historical commit to an FTP server for rollbacks and environment switching.
- Git-Diff-Based FTP Uploads - Uploads only files changed since the last deployment by comparing against a stored commit ID.
- Git-Based - Transfers files to an FTP server based on Git commit differences to save bandwidth and time.
- Git-Powered FTP Sync Tools - Uses Git history to determine which files have changed and uploads only those to an FTP server.
- Deployment Commit Tracking - Stores the last deployed commit hash on the FTP server to enable incremental uploads.
- Deployment Diff Filters - Uses git diff between commits to determine which files have changed for incremental upload.
- Deployment Rollbacks - Uploads files from a previous Git commit to restore an earlier state of the deployed site.
- Environment Deployment Workflows - Deploys different Git states to FTP servers for staging, production, or rollback workflows.
- Bash Script Patterns - Implements the entire tool as a single portable Bash script with no external dependencies.
- Branch Switching - Switches the local working tree to any Git branch before uploading files to the server.
- Deployment - Switches the local working tree to a specific Git branch before uploading files to a production FTP server.
- Git Commit Rollbacks - Reverts a deployed site to an older version by uploading files from a previous Git commit to an FTP server.
