Zactonz Git

Once the plugin is installed, account owners manage their repositories from cPanel. No further server-side setup is needed.

Add a repository#

1. Open cPanel and find Zactonz Git under the Files group.
2. Fill in the form:
   • Repository name: a display name for the list.
   • Clone URL: the GitHub repository URL, public or private.
   • Branch: usually main or master.
   • Repository path: where to deploy, relative to the account's home directory (for example public_html or public_html/app).
   • Access token: required for private repositories. A GitHub personal access token with read access is enough.
   • Enable auto sync: tick this if pushes to GitHub should deploy automatically.
3. Click Save & Deploy.

The repository is cloned into the chosen path and appears under Configured repositories below the form.

Automatic deployment with a webhook#

1. In Configured repositories, click Webhook next to the repository. A dialog shows its unique webhook URL; copy it.
2. In GitHub open the repository's Settings › Webhooks › Add webhook.
3. Paste the URL as the Payload URL.
4. Set Content type to application/json.
5. Choose Just the push event and save.

From then on every push to the configured branch triggers a git pull on the server. The Last sync column shows when the most recent deployment ran.

Manual deployment#

Click Sync now next to a repository to run git pull immediately. This works whether or not auto sync is enabled, and is the right choice for repositories where you want to control deployment timing.

Removing a repository#

Delete the entry from Configured repositories. The files already deployed to the target path are left in place; remove them from the File Manager if they are no longer wanted.
