Using KUDU is it possible to PULL any deployment changes back

Question

We have a system where the deployment website files can change via the website itself. This means that when a change is pushed from git to the deployment server our website changes could be overwritten.

Is it possible to pull the changes from Azure deployment back on to our development repository via git and KUDU ?

Answer 1

The repo and web root are in different folders, so for this to happen, you need to copy the relevant files to the repo and commit them, after which you could pull them to your client.

There is also an inplace mode that you could experiment with, where the repo is directly in the wwwroot folder. Whether this will work well or not depends on the stack you're using (e.g. PHP vs .NET vs etc...)
