git repo set up on WPEngine<\/a>, but they only allow the whole server to be a repo, not just a single plugin. \u00a0This was a problem since the whole server directory was not in my current repo.\u00a0 So it was either make a new repo which was basically a copy of my current repo but a different folder structure\u00a0or keep on using SFTP. \u00a0I decided to make a new duplicate repo. \u00a0The problem (which i also had with SFTP) was finding the files that changed and pushing them to the server. \u00a0This is both error-prone and slow. \u00a0I found a script that could copy all changed files from the last commit into my WPEngine\u00a0deploy directory and also\u00a0discovered a way to do this automatically when pushing from my main repo.<\/p>\nCreate\/Save this script in .git\/hooks\/pre-push file. \u00a0This would be in the main git repo I work in. \u00a0This copies all changed files to the WPEngine deployment repo.
