I have a few simple websites that get updated via ftp. My issue here is that I have no version control. If I utilize github, I would have to synchronize my local files, with my remote ftp, and also my github. Sounds messy. Is there a better approach to my madness. Ideally, I’d like to have source control (github) with any automatic publish to ftp. Does this exist?
Thanks all.
Maybe you could use some continuous integration server ( http://martinfowler.com/articles/continuousIntegration.html )?
Then you could configure it to publish to wherever you like on a click of a button or automatically after every commit when automatic tests don’t fail.
There are many CI servers
CruiseControl (.NET) – http://www.cruisecontrolnet.org/
TeamCity – http://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/index.html?gclid=CPjku5iTsawCFU5TfAodfWMWGA
Jenkins (formerly known as Hudson) – http://hudson-ci.org/
I don’t think there is/should be anything specyfic to web development when it comes to source control. I use CI for every kind of development.
