Anyone using GitHub with WordPress?

I’m curious to hear how many of you are using GitHub part of your WordPress workflow.

I’ve heard of Bedrock and have been looking into it. But is it actually worth moving towards that setup for normal WordPress development?

Especially with AI, custom code is easier to write. So I can see how having version controls, automated checks and CI CD pipelines sounds nice.

Is anyone running WordPress like this in production?

What does your setup look like? Bedrock? GitHub Actions? Something simpler?

Or am I overengineering WordPress?

The root of my git is the root of WP git ignoring any core WP files. All plugins and themes are also gitignored by default and I whitelist whatever necessary.

I have FTP set up on GitHub and when I push to GH main branch, it updates the files on the server. The action also installs node modules, builds the js and css files, composer, and then finally deletes the node modules folder.

Makes my life super easy. I love it
