Issue when pushing PHP/Laravel to Azure with Git

Question

I am developing a PHP-Laravel Web App in Microsoft Azure Cloud. I set up a Local Git in the cloud for version control. I am also using PHP Storm by JetBrains as the IDE.

Each time I push files from my computer to azure, git performs some operations which delay my deployment. Even if I change a single file it will take around a minute to finish. I am new to Laravel and Composer so I was wondering if it is a normal thing to do or is it my mistake?

i create an account on github then i push my changes to github (you can google how) then i go to azure and setup my deployment source as github, i authorize azure on github , then wait for deployment , anyway this will not save you time or anything ( its just the way i like to do it). does your website works fine after deploying? — Achraf Khouadja

When you deploy your PHP application to Azure App Services via Git. The deployment task not only upload and copy the code scripts on the root directory on Azure, but also will run composer commands if you have composer.json configuration file on your root directory and enabled the composer extension on Azure App Services.

It will run composer install, which will install the dependencies and run the custom commands set in scripts section.

So it will take time.

Azure App Services as a PaaS for hosting production applications, you can push your code to Azure after you have finished a stage of developing work.

Meanwhile, you can try the suggestion provided by @Achraf Khouadja, leverage the GitHub repository as a middle layer. with which, you can only upload your codes to GitHub, and Azure fabric will sync the code and run the deployment task automatically.

You will not need to wait the response in your IDE, it will save your time.
