Deployer: Deploy from local machine without repository

So I am trying to use deployer to deploy my local files to a server.

However I am not sure how deployer exactly works, because it seems like it needs a GIT repository - which I do not want to use. In the documentation I can't really find much information about my issue.

My Question: How do I use deployer without git-repository. Just push my local files to the server / multiple servers.

I use Symfony4 with deployer installed and everything works fine until following error:

fatal: repository '/var/www/project/releases/1' does not exist

Thanks

deployer.php

<?php
namespace Deployer;

require 'recipe/symfony.php';

// Project name
set('application', 'project');

// Project repository
//set('repository', '');

// [Optional] Allocate tty for git clone. Default value is false.
set('git_tty', true);

// Shared files/dirs between deploys 
add('shared_files', []);
add('shared_dirs', []);

// Writable dirs by web server 
add('writable_dirs', []);
set('allow_anonymous_stats', false);

// Hosts

host('x.x.x.x') //IP of host
    ->user('www-data')
    ->set('deploy_path', '/var/www/project');

// Tasks

task('build', function () {
    run('cd {{release_path}} && build');
});

// [Optional] if deploy fails automatically unlock.
after('deploy:failed', 'deploy:unlock');

// Migrate database before symlink new release.

before('deploy:symlink', 'database:migrate');

If you don't want to write a deployment task from scratch, the deployer/recipes package provides the rsync recipe that will allow to transfer your project to your hosts without the need for git.

UPDATE: deployer/recipes has been deprecated and no longer available for 7.x. The recipe is now bundled in the contrib directory of the main package.

Like stated above, you can use the rsync recipe or simply override the deploy:update_code with something like this:

task('deploy:update_code', function () {
    writeln("<info>Uploading files to server</info>");
    upload('./< some path >', '{{release_path}}');
});

Sometimes I just need to push some files to remote and I created a task for that purpose: 

use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputOption;

option('source', null, InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL, 'Source alias of the current task.');
option('target', null, InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL, 'Target alias of the current task.');

task('upload:file', function() {
    /*
    * Usage: dep upload:file --source="some_destination/file.txt" --target="some_destination/" host
    */

    $source = null;
    $target = null;

    if (input()->hasOption('source')) {
        $source = input()->getOption('source');
    }

    if (input()->hasOption('target')) {
        $target = input()->getOption('target');
    }
    if (askConfirmation('Upload file ' . $source . ' to release/' . $target . ' ?')) {
        upload('/< some place >' . $source, '{{release_path}}/' . $target);
    }
});
