How to put a site in maintenance? [Apache web server]

ErrorDocument 403 /index.html
DirectoryIndex index.html
<Files ~ "index\.html">
	Order Allow,Deny
	Allow from all
</Files>
Deny from all

Content of your .htaccess file

If you want to whitelist any IP, use this

ErrorDocument 403 /index.html
DirectoryIndex index.html
<Files ~ "index\.html">
	Order Allow,Deny
	Allow from all
</Files>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from xx.xxx.xx.xx
Deny from all

Here is a sample htaccess for a wordpress website with 1 IP whitelisted 4.129.45.44 and all others are banned. So you only will be able to load the website while everyone else will see contents of index.html with HTTP Status code 403

ErrorDocument 403 /index.html
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Files ~ "index\.html">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
</Files>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^4\.129\.45\.44$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^4\.129\.45\.44$
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Allow from 4.129.45.44

How to generate a patch with edited files? How to zip latest committed changes only

zip archive.zip $(git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r latest-commit-id)

Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42971972/2229148

sometimes you need all the files that were updated so you can patch an external app which doesnt uses same git project or many other scenarios in which we need a zip or tar of those files. Use the above command to do so

There is a smarter way also, if you want all the changes from last 5 commits, use the command like this:

zip archive.zip $(git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r HEAD~5 HEAD)
