Hi friends, In this article, I am going to write about how to deploy private github repo to server automatic . Only we will discuss about private git repository.

Most businesses adopt this strategy since it helps them secure their projects. Companies do not disclose their credentials to the public, it is a truth. They only favour secret work.

I often use the hostinger server. Similarly, you may follow to these instructions on any server.

You have to go to hostinger dashboard and follow steps

  • Goto to Files menu.
  • Tap FTP Accounts in sub menu.
  • Scroll down, Check Create a New FTP Account section.
  • In Directory, You have to select directory to deploy your project. If you choose /public_html, It means you want deploy your project in root directory (Ex:- example.com).
  • In my case, I am using test directory. So I will keep /public_html/test. It means you want deploy your project in test directory (Ex:- example.com/test).
  • Choose Username.
  • Make strong Password.
  • Tap to Create button.

Congratulation ! You have created your FTP account successfully.
