Deploy using git? - PrplHaz4 - 2013-04-19
Anyone using git to deploy their GS sites? The method I use for my php apps is similar to the one presented here:

Also, are there any good version control tips for running a GS site? Since changes to content are made (and presumably, tracked) in GS itself, it likely requires some clever usage of .gitignore?

I do not use it to run my site, but I do use it to manage my install and perform upgrades. I wrote a php deploy from github script that fetches and installs github branches.

Cool script. Seems like it'd be extremely useful for someone that needs to manage numerous sites/instances.
I've been thinking about this more, and it doesn't seem likely to be a reality anytime soon, as the way GS handles image URLs (ie, in a non-relative fashion) makes it difficult to deploy changes by copying files. It may still be viable for deploying (and version controlling) features (theme changes, extensions...etc), independent of content.
