Deny Access to .git Directory and .gitignore File on Apache cPanel
Here is the conde you need to place in your Apache 2.4 (or 2.2, but note the changed syntax in the video...) on cPanel
NOTE: I could not copy the angle brackets into the video description. So,
you can follow this link:
https://www.anamericanwebdeveloper.co...
DirectoryMatch "^/.*/\.git/"
Require all denied
/DirectoryMatch
Files ~ "^\.git"
for apache 2.2 use Order allow …
for apache 2.4 use the “Require all denied” syntax
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Require all denied
/Files
In this git and cpanel tutorial you will learn how to NOT serve your Git repository from the public html directory:
1. Use git for deployment on cpanel.
2. Prohibit public access to git repo.
3. Modify apache .conf/configuration files to match directories and files with regular expressions to stop access to a git repo.
4. Stop your web server from serving up hidden .git files.
