EC Enlighten Cloud × Plesk Git

Setting up Plesk Git

Wire up a GitHub repository to a Plesk subscription on Enlighten Cloud so every push to main deploys the site automatically.

  1. Install the Git extension in Plesk

    In Plesk → Extensions, search for Git and install it if it's not already available. On Enlighten Cloud it is enabled by default for most hosting plans.

  2. Open the subscription and add a repository

    Go to the subscription for the domain you want to deploy, open the Git tab, and click Add Repository. Choose Remote Git hosting.

  3. Point it at GitHub

    Paste the HTTPS clone URL for this repository: 

    https://github.com/Enlighten-Cloud/plesk-git-demo.git

    For private repos, Plesk will show a deploy key — copy it into the repo's Settings → Deploy keys page on GitHub.

  4. Pick the deployment mode

    Select Automatic so Plesk pulls new commits as soon as GitHub sends a webhook. Set the Deployment path to the document root of the site (usually httpdocs).

  5. Add the webhook to GitHub

    Plesk displays a webhook URL. In GitHub, go to Settings → Webhooks → Add webhook, paste the URL, set the content type to application/json, and leave the trigger on Just the push event.

  6. Optional: post-deploy commands

    In the repository's Deployment actions panel, you can run shell commands after each pull. For a typical PHP project: 

    composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
php artisan migrate --force
php artisan cache:clear

  7. Push a commit to test

    Make any change, git push, then reload the site. The deployment timestamp on the status page should update within a few seconds.
