Workflow

  • Hi,

    I hope that this is the right forum to post this question. Currently I’m working for a company and I’m the only wordpress developer. When a change is made, we do it on the staging web site. If everything is fine and dandy, we push it to the live site. This is all done on wp engine.

    I feel that this might not be a best practice. We are not using git, and ideally I think this is something that I would like to implement. Would you recommend creating a local environment and making all changes to templates locally so that I can push to a git repo? In general I”m just looking for suggestions and ideas for a good workflow. What is your workflow like?

    Thanks,

    Dan

  • Hi,

    I would suggest using git indeed.

    The main reason would be that if anything goes wrong with your local aka staging website you do not have any backups. Lets say you do something on your local install and it looks good so you push it live and then realise afterwards that it created some issues you had not noticed in the first place. In this case you might want to recover files from a previous version, or more importantly browse changes which can be done easily using git.
