How to: Update live sites theme from version control repo via plugin or library? [closed]

Maybe someone knows how i could update my live sites theme from a version control*) project repository.

Point is that it’s really time consuming if you got your theme hosted with version control (as an open source project), have a live site that uses the theme and maybe also make it available else where. Normally that means half an hour until you got everything running after you wrote an update/commited something.

I’ve seen it once that a server got a “live” update via a git project, but so far couldn’t find out how this would be done.

Nice would be if there’s a plugin out there that does this already. Libraries or similar are also ok.

*) The Q is about Github, Bitbucket, etc. and it also doesn’t matter if the solution is git or svn based.

Thank you!

I use a script called git-ftp, which simply uses FTP to push changes from a git repo onto a server.
