Overview<\/h2>\n

If you wish to deploy the contents of a cPanel-managed repository on a schedule, you can set up deployment cron jobs. Cron jobs allow you to configure the system to run a specified command automatically at a specified interval.<\/p>\n

For more information about deployment, read our Guide to Git – Deployment documentation.<\/p>\n

Find the repository path<\/h2>\n

In order to configure your deployment cron job, you must<\/strong> use the correct repository path.<\/p>\n

To locate the desired repository\u2019s directory, navigate to cPanel\u2019s Git Version Control<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Files >> Git Version Control<\/em>). Then, in the list of repositories, locate the Repository Path<\/em> value for the desired repository.<\/p>\n

Configure your cron job<\/h2>\n

The Cron Jobs<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Advanced >> Cron Jobs<\/em>) allows you to configure cron jobs.<\/p>\n

To configure your deployment cron job, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Select the interval at which you wish to run the cron job. You can select a commonly-used interval from the Common Settings<\/em> menu, or select or enter a specific interval for the following values:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Minute<\/em> \u2014 The number of minutes between each time that the cron job runs or the minute of each hour on which you wish to run the cron job.<\/li>\n
    • Hour<\/em> \u2014 The number of hours between each time that the cron job runs or the hour of each day on which you wish to run the cron job.<\/li>\n
    • Day<\/em> \u2014 The number of days between each time that the cron job runs or the day of the month on which you wish to run the cron job.<\/li>\n
    • Month<\/em> \u2014 The number of months between each time that the cron job runs or the month in which you wish to run the cron job.<\/li>\n
    • Weekday<\/em> \u2014 The days of the week on which you wish to run the cron job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      In the Command<\/em> text box, enter the commands that you wish the system to run. For example:\n<\/p>\n

      \n
      \/usr\/<\/span>bin\/uapi VersionControlDeployment create repository_root=\/<\/span>home\/user\/<\/span>example\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      Note:<\/div>\n
      \n
        \n
      • \n
        In this example, \/home\/user\/example<\/code> represents the repository\u2019s Repository Path<\/em> value.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        If your server runs CloudLinux\u2122, begin these commands with the \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/bin\/<\/code> filepath. For example:\n<\/p>\n
        \n
        \/usr\/<\/span>local\/cpanel\/<\/span>bin\/uapi VersionControlDeployment create repository_root=\/<\/span>home\/user\/<\/span>example<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
        This command calls UAPI\u2019s VersionControlDeployment::create<\/code> function, which creates a new deployment task. This task will run the deployment commands that you specified in your .cpanel.yml<\/code> file once.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
