I have one project for which I have a git repository set up. I have two branches I work with: the master and a development branch. This is all set up on my server. What I would like to do is access and test my development branch from a subdomain, and when everything works, merge to master, which runs the main site. For example:
Master branch: example.com
Dev branch: dev.example.com
Is this possible? My site is an Express app that runs on Node, and I’m using Nginx on an Ubuntu 20.04 server with the main and subdomains on different server blocks. Any help or pointers in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Yes, this is quite possible. See cmds below.
$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir abc
$ cd abc
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/abc/.git/
$ echo testing > README
$ git add README
$ git commit -m 'first commit'
[master (root-commit) e675a97] first commit
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)

$ cd ..
$ git clone abc def
Cloning into 'def'...
done.
$ cd def
$ ls
