Using git to publish to a website

Question

I used this guide to use git to autopublish my changes on my website when I push to my remote origin git repository:

Here's my /hooks/post-update file:

cd ../../public_html/dir/wbg
env -i git pull

Here's my directory structure:

/home/git/wbg.git <-- my remote git repository

/home/public_html/dir/wbg <-- my web folder

When I run

git push origin master

The repository updates but my web folder is still empty. Any ideas?

Edit: if any future traffic sees this, my real problem was that BOTH your remote origin AND your destination website directory must be git repositories. You can't just set it up to copy your project to a new folder unless that folder is also a git repo.
