Hi Tom

=git is not dependant on any language so what you do with WebDNA is no diffe=rent to any other language.

The steps that I achie=ved to get it running were as follows:

1. Installe=d Tower on my Mac -=C2=A0https://www.git-tower.com

2. I created a= copy of the website on my Mac

3. Set up git on th=e server

4. Set up my user on the server with key =pair access

5. Once the tech was in place and key =pairs were working I simply created a repository from my local copy of the =website, then created a remote repository =C2=A0on the server, and then usi=ng Tower pushed the local repository to the remote repository on the server=.. To test that this was working I backed up the website on the server and c=reated an empty root directory, git filled the empty root dir with the cont=ents of my local repository - this proved to me that the system was working=.. When you try this for yourself do plenty of testing before going to a liv=e environment. You may have some issues with permissions, make sure that th=e git user on the server is in www-data group, I also set the grid on the r=oot directory chmod -R 2775 /var/www/html=C2=A0

Wh=en I finish development on my dev server I use Transmit (https://panic.com/transmit/) to= download all the new/changed files to my local repository then use Tower t=o send the changes to the website.

I guess I could= make git work both ways but I feel more comfortable with the ftp flow from= dev to local.

Using git is an art in itself and I= really only use the basics that are available.

He=re =C2=A0are some links about getting started:

https=://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-git-on-ubuntu-18=-04

If you are interested I hav=e some personal notes that I use to set up git on a new server that suits m=y way of working.



Kind regards
