Git amongst it! Version control for WordPress coders

This block can’t be used inside a Session post. It’s intended to be used in a page or post.

Git is the world’s most popular version control system, but the uptake of Git for WordPress development is low compared to the rest of the development community. Whether because many WordPress developers are self-taught, or because using Git with WordPress poses some unique challenges – lots of WordPress developers are missing out by not having this fantastic tool in their arsenal!

In this talk we’ll be covering:
– Git vs GitHub vs Bitbucket – What’s the difference?
– What are the challenges using Git with WordPress
– How to get started with Git & BitBucket
– A suggested workflow for theme & plugin developers
– How to use automatic deployment for faster development
– Alternative workflow options
– How private workflows compare to public repositories

I am a WordPress developer based (for now) in Perth, Western Australia. I am passionate about UX, data-driven decision making, cats and travel - not necessarily in that order. I am an ambassador for She Codes Australia, a volunteer organisation making coding and web careers more accessible for women, and I am the meetup coordinator for the Perth WordPress meetup. I am also a consultant with the Australian Small Business Advisory Service Digital Solutions Program that provides accessible advice and training to Aussie small business owners. I am easily recognisable by my bright purple hair and dorky glasses :)
