Re: How to work in a group with Git and remote server? (Ex. Keep files in sync while FTP'ing)

Git does a great job of keeping network traffic to a minimum.
So I use git from my live hosted site (remote server) to pull a
specific tag. This way if something goes wrong or some bad code ended
up in the release I can always easily and quickly pull the previous
version tag until the problem is corrected. Most hosting sites servers
support the git client. And most will allow you ssh connection if you
request it.

I've found the following post and workflow from Vincent to be a great
baseline of how a team should work together using git.
It has a nice diagram and the blog entry covers all of the important
process for the entire development cycle.

You don't have to use all of his suggestions but the diagram really
helps you see how they all work together over time and versions of a
project.

Maybe git isn't directly related to cake-php and some have mentioned
this to be off topic. But just like the databases are not directly
cake-php our apps are useless without them. I view a source repository
as very on topic as I can't imagine working on any project without a
source repository or a deployment plan.
