Devot:ee on Git and ExpressionEngine

Git is all the rage these days and Devot:ee has written a very in-depth article about version control with ExpressionEngine and Git. Why version control, Mr. Masuga?

Version control is something I felt I needed a handle on when developing with ExpressionEngine, so I recently starting looking for a solution I could use in my own workflow. Up until very recently, I’ve been working on projects myself (except for the occasional contractor who has helped migrate or enter content into EE while I’ve been working on the template side) but now I’m finding the need to do some collaborative work, and also want to make sure that my work is properly backed up and versioned—so I can roll back changes if something goes awry.

This is the first in a four-part series that, if continuing at its current depth, will be extremely informative and educational for our humble community.

Thanks for the post!  I’m looking forward to this series on Git.  Ryan’s first post has a bunch of links to others done on Git and EE. 

I’m also looking forward to the talk on the same subject at the EE Roadshow by Jason Hudnutt:
