Whats the best way to update my Django site on DigitalOcean?

i am using the git pull origin master command but it isn’t updating my python files like views, forms etc. All other files like html files are updated

OK great thanks

I’ve written a bash script that does it, given that we do not have any changes on server. Feel free to add/comment on improvements:

APP_NAME = Name of Application to display APP_FOLDER = Django project’s GIT root folder

Make sure to give Execute permissions on this script: chmod 777 /home/django/update_app.sh

#!/bin/bash
echo 'Updating <APP_NAME>...'
cd /home/django/<APP_FOLDER>/
source venv/bin/activate

if [ -z "$(git status --untracked-files=no --porcelain)" ]; then 

  if git pull origin master; then
    echo 'GIT PULL completed'
  else
    echo 'GIT PULL failed: exiting program.'
    exit
  fi

  echo 'Upgrading DB to latest...'
  export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=<APP>.settings-prod
  python3 manage.py migrate

  echo 'Restarting servers...'
  sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  sudo service gunicorn restart
  sudo service nginx restart
else
  echo 'There are modified files. Aborting update process..'
fi
echo 'Finished updating.'
