Forge - digital ocean - where are the files?

Hi Guys and girls,

Im trying to understand where forge installs/pushes my git files on the digital ocean droplet? If I search on the droplet through the access console I can't find any folder like 'www' or 'laravel' with my files.

This may be a stupid question - but I can't figure it out.

Thank you for your time!

Hi Kairu,

Thanks for your reply - but there is no /home folder on the droplet.

Do you have a droplet on digital ocean?

When I am on the Console (through the digital ocean website) I see ' root@nameofdroplet' :

When I enter 'ls -la' the folders I see are ;

.aptitude .cache .composer .forge .npm .ssh

In none of those folders are any laravel files.

can you do cd /home/forge

then do ls-la and see what you see?
