yeet — FTP Deploy Script

Interactive deploy script for web projects using git-ftp. Choose an action (push, init, status) and a target environment. Environments are auto-detected from DEPLOY_* vars in your project's .env.

Setup

1. Install yeet globally:

   cp yeet ~/.local/bin/yeet
   

2. Create a .env in your project root with your deploy credentials (see below)
3. Create a .git-ftp-ignore in your project root (see below)
4. Run yeet from your project directory

.git-ftp-ignore

Place this file in your project root to exclude files from FTP deployment:

content/
media/
.env
.deploy-status

.git-ftp-include

If you use Composer (e.g. for Kirby CMS), vendor/ and kirby/ are typically git-ignored but need to be deployed. Create a .git-ftp-include in your project root:

kirby/:composer.lock
vendor/:composer.lock

This tells git-ftp to upload these directories whenever composer.lock changes.

Finding your HOST path

1. Connect via FTP to see your root directory:

   curl --user ftp-user ftp://yourserver.com/
   

2. If you see your project files, you're already in the project root:

   HOST=ftp://yourserver.com
   

3. If your project is in a subfolder (e.g. public_html/), add it to the path:

   HOST=ftp://yourserver.com/public_html
   

4. You can browse deeper with:

   curl --user ftp-user ftp://yourserver.com/public_html/
   

.env configuration

Add as many environments as you need. DEPLOY_*_URL is optional — it stores the public URL where the environment is accessible and is shown during deploy and in .deploy-status.

DEPLOY_DEV_HOST=ftp://dev.yourserver.com
DEPLOY_DEV_USER=ftp-dev-user
DEPLOY_DEV_PASS=your-dev-password
DEPLOY_DEV_URL=https://dev.yourserver.com

DEPLOY_PROD_HOST=ftp://yourserver.com
DEPLOY_PROD_USER=ftp-prod-user
DEPLOY_PROD_PASS=your-prod-password
DEPLOY_PROD_URL=https://yourserver.com

DEPLOY_STAGING_HOST=ftp://staging.yourserver.com
DEPLOY_STAGING_USER=ftp-staging-user
DEPLOY_STAGING_PASS=your-staging-password
DEPLOY_STAGING_URL=https://staging.yourserver.com
