Using git to manage website files

[Hermansen03]

I have a website in my ubuntu server, and remember i once worked with a guy that had the website on github. We were able to have the website on our test enviroment on our local computers and commit changes we made on the local pc using github desktop app to the server where it would automaticly pull the files when new files were commited. This would be great for me, but i've searched far and wide and cant find a way to make it do that.

I'm trying to:
1: Develop on my local machine
2: Push it using github desktop when i'm ready to update site
3: Server pulls website files to var/www

Any links, guides?

Thanks in advance
