Read. Build. Understand.
Practical ideas for the work between your first commit and your next release. Explore Git fundamentals, AI workflows, hosting decisions, CMS projects, and recovery plans.
Choose repository hosting around the work your team needs to complete. Compare managed services and self-hosted options, test the daily review process, and account for maintenance, migration, and recovery before committing.
Move from a repository to a reliable public website with a repeatable build, a reviewed artifact, purposeful preview checks, and a rollback plan that accounts for both HTML and cached assets.
A ZIP, a clone, and a working backup preserve different things. Learn how to protect repository history, recover large-file objects, retain application state, and rehearse restoration without depending on the original host.
The same Git repository workflow can lead to very different production systems. Compare what Hugo, Django, and a PHP application on LAMP require, then design releases around each stack’s build, runtime, and persistent data.
Large files need a storage decision before they need a Git command. Learn which assets belong in ordinary Git, which fit Git LFS, and which should stay in artifact storage or application backups.
Turn AI-assisted edits into changes you can explain. Learn how to define a task, isolate work, inspect the full diff, verify real behavior, and write a useful handoff before merging or deploying.
Understand how a Git release reaches visitors through Nginx and a CDN. Set explicit routing and cache policies, keep private source outside the web root, and verify changes at the public edge.
A CMS combines versioned code with changing content. Build a practical WordPress Git workflow that keeps themes and plugins reviewable while protecting uploads, database changes, configuration, and reliable releases.
Learn what Git actually records, how to choose the changes in a commit, and why saving, staging, committing, and pushing are separate steps. Build a practical review habit before your project grows.
A private Git server needs more than a working push command. Build a clear plan for repository access, SSH identities, backups, recovery, and day-to-day ownership before moving your team’s code.
