WordPress Development Workflow Suggestions
I've been a web developer for the better part of a decade and think that
its time to revamp my workflow. As the volume of work continues to
increase with my business, I'm looking for every possible way to save
time.
What I'm Doing Now
All my sites are WordPress based
During development I'll work directly on a testing site
(myproject.mytestingdomain.com) using Notepad++ and FTP
I'll then deploy the site to the live site
The Main Problem I'm Having
When developing additions to, I'm not sure how to sync the ever growing
LIVE data of the site with a modified schema and development data. Usually
additions to a site requires some additional rows to the wp_options table
and some to the wp_posts table. How can I make sure this newly created
data is in sync? Is there a program that I can use to compare and sync
data?
What My Ideal Would Be
Local Dev
Git Version control
Auto FTP to development server
Better PHP editor (code completion, code hinting)
Any and all suggestions would be helpful!
