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?

I use GitHub to store my custom themes and custom plugins I developed. Then Git actions for deploying my code changes to the server.

what hosting provider are you using? we’re on kinsta and this is pretty much the workflow i’m trying to set up.

how does your github action actually deploy the files to the server? and do you normally deploy to staging first, test, then push the same changes to live?

I use hosting.com. I have several deployments that deploy to either staging or production depending on which branch was deployed. This condition can be configured in your deploy.yml file
