Deploying Your Git Repository to Shared Hosting: A Comedy of Errors and Triumphs

--

The Problem Statement
Imagine this:
You’ve crafted the perfect website. It’s a digital masterpiece, a work of art in ones and zeros. But there’s a catch — you must deploy it to a shared hosting server. You’re armed with a GitHub account and a dream, but the path to deployment seems more daunting than diving in the sea. Fear not, brave coder! This guide will lead you through the perilous journey of deploying your Git repository to shared hosting, sprinkled with a dash of humour and a few plot twists along the way.

The Prerequisites: Buckle Up, Buttercup
Before we embark on this adventure, let’s make sure you’ve got your gear ready:
1. A Domain and a Server: Any hosting plan will do. Think of it as your home base, where your digital baby will live.
2. A GitHub Account: This is where your code resides, patiently waiting for its moment to shine on the big stage.
Alright, adventurer, let’s dive into the deployment process with Hostinger as our trusty steed.

Step 1: The Code Conundrum
First, ensure your website’s code is up-to-date on GitHub. This is your website’s version of a fresh haircut before a big date. You want it to look its best, don’t you?

Step 2: The Hostinger Hustle
Log in to your Hostinger account and click that shiny “Manage” button next to your web hosting plan. It’s like the red button in all the movies, but instead of launching missiles, it launches your website.

Step 3: The Dashboard Dilemma
You’ll be redirected to the dashboard, which is essentially your mission control. On the left, you’ll see the name of your website. Select the one you want to deploy using Git. If you have multiple websites, try not to panic. It’s like picking your favourite ice cream— but digitally.
