A better way to managing and track software over the lifetime of the development process is at the top of list in this WordCamp Raleigh 2012 session Using Git with WordPress by Glenn Ansley. This session will cover the purpose, benefits, basic usage, and common workflows particular to using Git in a variety of WordPress environments.

Glenn, a plugin developer with iThemes, has spent the better part of the last decade creating custom solutions for WordPress. “I think the WordPress hook API is the key to its success and a WordPress developer’s greatest asset. The hook API makes plugins and themes possible.”, Glenn states. “WordPress stands out when compared to other CMS software because of the extendibility of its core features, the easy installation / upgrade process, and the awesome community that supports it. I am convinced that WordPress would not be as popular as it is without the actions and filters found in its hook API.”

Attendees at Glenn’s session gain an introductory knowledge of Git, examples of how to use Git with WordPress development, and a ton of resources to reference once they get back to their computers.
