I am very happy to tell you that we have integrated Git in our hosting service. It is the newest addition to the multiple state-of-the-art tools (like WordPress\/Joomla <a title=\"SiteGround Staging\" href=\"https:\/\/newblog.siteground.com\/en\/siteground-staging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Staging tool<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/newblog.siteground.com\/en\/wp-cli\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WP-CLI<\/a>, <a title=\"Drush\" href=\"https:\/\/newblog.siteground.com\/en\/drush\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Drush CLI<\/a> for Drupal sites, etc.) that we have created to make your website management easier. Staying true to our craftsmanship approach, we have developed our custom Git cPanel plugin which fully supports the most popular web applications &#8211; WordPress, Joomla!, Magento, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siteground.com\/kb\/prestashop\/\">PrestaShop<\/a> and Drupal.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>How is SG-Git Different?<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5679\" src=\"https:\/\/newblog.siteground.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/10\/sggitscreen.jpg\" alt=\"The SG-GIT Interface\" width=\"540\" height=\"373\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Easy Interface in the cPanel<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Many web hosts offer Git but what is unique in SiteGround GIT integration is the cPanel SG-Git plugin we have developed. We know that Git is the most popular version control system and many people would like to use it to edit their sites. Thus, we automated the process and now you can create, destroy and manage your Git repositories directly from your cPanel with a single click of a button. There is no need to contact our support team in order to create new repositories or add new SSH keys to allow new members of your dev team to access the site.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>Optimized for the most popular applications<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In addition, the SG-Git interface automatically detects your WordPress, Joomla!, Magento, PrestaShop and Drupal apps and creates custom Git environments. The repositories you create through&nbsp;the tool are optimized and temporary app-specific files are not included. This way we ensure that you can focus on developing your site instead of wasting time to setup your custom Git exclude file lists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Of course, we are aware that some developers have custom requirements and a unified cPanel Git system cannot be used for all kinds of projects. That is why the git binary is also accessible via SSH and advanced users can create their own repositories without using the cPanel tool.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to Get Started?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you are an experienced Git user you probably won&#8217;t use the SG-Git interface at all, because you already have full access to the Git commands. For the rest of you, open your cPanel and go to the Git tool. Then use the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.siteground.com\/tutorials\/sg-git\/create-new-repository\/\">Create Git Repository<\/a>&#8221; button to setup your Git development environment. After that &#8230; actually that&#8217;s it &#8211; the Git tool will take care of the rest and show you only the info that you need to clone the repository on your local computers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We also created a detailed SG-Git tutorial!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Right now, the SiteGround Git tool is available on our GoGeek, Cloud and Dedicated Servers with Geeky features setup. The tool supports WordPress, Joomla!, Magento, PrestaShop and Drupal websites, but we plan to add support for other popular web applications as well. Feel free to test it and share your opinion in the comments below, we will be glad to hear what you think.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[subscribe_cta]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of my favourite SiteGround projects that kept some of us quite busy recently is now successfully rolled out!
