title: How to push from GitHub to your VPS
body: <p>I have a private github repo set up. I also have git installed and a clone of this repo at 
  subdomain.example.com. </p>
  
  <p>In the root of the subdomain I have a php file that has the following code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php `git pull`;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have set up a web hook to <a href="http://subdomain.example.com/git-pull.php" rel="nofollow">http://subdomain.example.com/git-pull.php</a>. </p>
  
  <p>However when ever I push a new commit nothing happens on my server. I have followed about 10 different tutorials. Most of which seem to assume you know what you are doing. </p>
  
  <p>This would be the first time I am ever working with GitHub so I really have no clue what I am doing or how to properly accomplish this.</p>
  
  <p>I guess my first question would be how can I even tell if my website is seeing the webhook when ever the repo is updated?</p>
