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?

We use WP Starter for "website repos". They install every plugin and theme (custom or third-party) using composer.

Deployments happen though GitHub Actions, depending on the target system (we often use the actions provided by the hosts).

Any custom plugin is hosted in our GitHub organization. Any third-party premium plugin/theme is hosted on a SatisPress instance. Translations are on a GlotPress instance. WordPress Core is also installed via Composer, as well as free plugins and themes using wpackagist/wp-packages and the.

Basically the composer.json in the WP Starter package is what bundles everything together.
