Can't deploy from Git and doesn't appear I have anything installed

Evening all,

Blown away I was by Jeff's tutorials on Forge, that I signed up with DigitalOcean and created a droplet using Forge.

Now everything goes swimmingly well up to the point when I come to deploy my Git repository and...nothing happens. Viewing my deployment log I see the following:

/home/forge/.forge/provision-794071.sh: line 1: cd: /home/forge/default: No such file or directory /home/forge/.forge/provision-794071.sh: line 2: git: command not found /home/forge/.forge/provision-794071.sh: line 3: composer: command not found /home/forge/.forge/provision-794071.sh: line 4: php: command not found

And when I also SSH into my server and through the Terminal and run 'ls' I am told there is nothing there.

Very odd it seems. Have sent a support question to Forge but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and knows of a solution in the meantime?

Just for the record I spoke to Taylor and despite creating five new servers and sites, the sixth time it worked. I suspect it was an issue with Digital Ocean rather than Forge.

Btw...Forge is awesome and thoroughly recommend it to people.
