Switching between git branches in var/www/html

I have a git initialized in var/www/html folder on an Armbian Linux server that I log into via ssh. I have created several git branches for test purposes. In my web browser on my personal computer, how can I view the files (and file versions) that are not on the master branch?

Solution

  • If all you have is a non-bare repository on the Armbian Linux server, then you would need to:

    • connect to it through SSH
    • go to /var/www/html folder
    • switch the branch currently checked out (git switch)

    See the result from your local computer.

    Any other GitWeb-like setup would requite a bare repository, to be shared on the server.
