title: Does deploying a git repository to a live server overwrite the existing files?
body: <p>Does deploying a repository to a live server overwrite the existing files there? Or does it just add the files from the repository?</p>
  
  <p>The scenario: I'm setting up a git repository (using BitBucket and DeployHQ) to replace uploading files to a website via FTP.</p>
  
  <p>The repository is connected to the server using DeployHQ, and I'm going to test with a simple "hello world" html file. Since the server has multiple domains, I don't want to accidentally deploy it to the wrong path and overwrite the live sites. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
