Greetings!

If you are running a nodejs app you may need to restart the application after pulling the latest code. The steps for this are relative to how you have it set up, so I’m unable to provide those. It may also be possible to have your application check for new code on a regular interval, which then reloads portions of the application without requiring a full restart. This article seems to outline a method for doing that:

it’s almost similar to a mern app right

cd <in the code directory>

then

git pull <github_url> master
