Hey everyone! I am working on enhancing my client offerings, I work on several sites on the side in my free time and as I mature I want to continually improve my services.
One thing we have done at places I’ve worked at the past is have a change management system between the development environments, and the live environments. Basically I can go and make a change to content on the dev site, get it reviewed, once it passed then I would log into our change management software (I believe this was made in house as it wasn’t branded or anything and could be janky plus was for the custom CMS that IT built) and click a few buttons to publish the change to the live site. Kind of similar to just publishing a change to a Git branch.
Is there anything remotely similar for WordPress? How do you manage changes between development and production environments without just tracking and doing the same exact steps over again?

If I’m not being clear, feel free to ask questions!

tl;dr Have several WordPress websites and I want to continually make changes on a dev site first, even things as simple as a new page and migrate them to the live site without having to do the same steps on production as I did on dev. More like a one-click repeatable migration.

[PublishPress]) is the main one that I’ve worked with for some large publishing clients. It works off your production site – no need for dev – assuming the changes you’re talking about are just content related.
