Set up a Git-based workflow with Local and GitHub Actions
Having an established end-to-end workflow for your site development process with Git version control can allow you to onboard a new developer quickly, keep a history of changes and elevate the consistency and quality of products for clients. Build quickly with Local, stage and keep a history with Git and GitHub Action, promote to production website when ready, and continue the process with maintaining an up-to-date local environment with Local Connect.
We’ll explore the following:
✔️ Set up a Local site for a local development environment and establish a connection to your production site with Local Connect (WP Engine customers only)
✔️ Organize and initialize Git version control in your Local WordPress development site’s wp-content directory and push up changes to GitHub
✔️ Set up GitHub Actions within your repository to trigger deployments to multiple environments: Development, Staging, Production
✔️ Leverage Local Connect to pull down the latest database changes from a Production environment
