When you use git pull (which is equivalent to git fetch; git merge), git will update files without changing owner (git does not store that information). But if there is new files to create, the current user will be set as the owner.
There is different solution to solve this. The easier is probably to add a post-update hooks (in your .git/hooks directory) to automatically call chown john:john . -R after merge/pull (see that SO solution for an example).
Alternate solutions are:
- Run
git pullas the john user instead of root (that will require write permissions to john for .git directory). - Create a hook to make the deployment, which will either use john as user, either do the chown after update (so you will have to do
git pullinside thepost-receivehook of the bare repo).
