Speak, gal, blz?

I developed a web system (in CodeIgniter) for a client and it runs on a local machine inside your office. Whenever I need to update the system, I perform the following steps:

TeamViewer server access;

I open the CMDER ;

Access my account on Bitbucket to give git pull ;

I perform the necessary migrations;

Thinking about these desktops systems that automatically search for a new version and upgrade, is it possible to do a routine on this web system to do the same thing? Search Bitbucket (or another web server) for a new version and then do the update?

Thanks for the suggestions.

php apache migrations codeigniter bitbucket

A very simple way is:

Storing your repository login on the server:

cd c:\seu_repositorio\
git config credential.helper cache

This command will cache your credentials the next time you pull / push.

Once the cache is done, you will no longer be prompted for username and password

In this way you can create a scheduled task in windows, which runs a php file automatically, which can contain a code to execute a simple git pull or you can also make other validations in the code, for example:

Check the md5 code of a file, if it has changed since the last version, then you update it pulls the git repository, otherwise it does nothing.
In this PHP code, you can also perform other actions like updating the database, deleting old files, cleaning logs, etc.
In the same way that you can do the control through the GIT repository, you could make a package available in a package and download the files from that hosting, making the control inside the php file as well.
