Pain-Free GitHub to WP Deployment Using WP Pusher – WPCAST044 WPcast.fm - The Professional WordPress Podcast

In this episode, we talk to Peter Suhm, creator of the WP Pusher plugin. We cover a lot of topics: GitHub, version control, deployment strategies, how Doug and David use WP Pusher on their own sites, and alternative traction channels to WordPress.org.



The Core



* Peter Suhm from Copenhagen, Denmark

* PHP and WordPress developer, met David at WordCamp Europe

* WP Pusher originally designed as a SaaS, later turned into a plugin
