Change Branch or Path

Deploy from a new branch

It is a normal practice to work with several branches in one repository. Only one branch can be active at one time. By default, the master branch is used for deployment.

To add one more branch, you have to create it in your local repository. For example, you can add the dev branch using the commands:

git branch dev

git checkout dev

Then commit the files to this branch and push to the server’s repository, using the commands:

git commit –m "changes to branch"

git push –u origin dev

Now you can select one of two active branches. Go to Websites & Domains > Git, click the Change branch and path link, and in the opened window select the branch name in the Branch menu.

If you select a new branch and click OK, Plesk will display the new active branch.

Change the deployment path

By default, the /httpdocs directory is used for publishing Git files on your website. If you want to change the deployment path, click the Change branch and path link, and in the opened window select the new directory. You can also create a new directory by clicking the Create New Folder button.
