Phing and github

Question

I am trying to automate the deployment of code from a private github repo using phing, but having difficulty trying to find something that works as an SVN export.

I read a few posts in the git and git checkout-index archives, but struggled to get them to work with github. I get the impression that they tend to use zip download as they can cache it, etc.

I would not mind downloading zip from github if a simple task in Phing was done for this, a simple HTTP task did not work with https, and I assume that some authentication is required first.

I managed to use the gitclone task in Phing, but the hidden ".git" folder is also cloned, which causes massive headaches ... mainly because during subsequent builds I cannot delete the build folder, because it offers certain git files, namely * .idx or * .pack.

Anyone lucky with phing and github private rep?

thank

@AYK Bad, recently explored deployment options and thought they would roll with Capistrano ...

In any case, it was my build script. I ended up using temporary tips for people ...

• Suppose my application lives in "C: \ app"
• Suppose this build.xml file lives in "C: \ app"
• , git repo "C:\app.git"
• "C:\app\build" "C:\app\deploy" ,
• "C:\app\build" "C:\app\deploy" , git checkout
• git checkout, , git "C:\app\build"

• , , , , , "C:\app\deploy"

• , Phing, - scp, ssh2 dll PHP, , .

• , , Phing, , ,

== build.xml ==
