    Uses Git to upload only changed files to FTP servers.

  • I have been using shared hosting for a long time and I got bored with transferring my files via FTP every time I made changes. I then resorted to using GitHub where I pushed my code to the repo then pulled it from my shared hosting. I still was not satisfied. I used GitFtp which was alright. Until I learned about CI/CD in my Azubi Africa class.

  • FTP-Deploy-Action

    Deploys a GitHub project to a FTP server using GitHub actions

  • This is where the files are now transferred to the shared hosting server. Get your FTP details from your shared hosting. Then go to your repo>settings>secrets then add the three secrets namely: server, username and then password. This action is courtesy of SamKirkland.
