Hello everyone. I'm pretty new to the WordPress developer world – I've been developing a plugin and theme locally and just recently moved to live via a migration. Now, I'm at a loss for how my setup should be to continue developing on the live website. I think ideally I would use github since my host (Hostinger) provides an easy way to create a remote repo.
HOWEVER, I'm a bit stuck as to how I should connect my remote repo to my actual WordPress wp-content folder. I won't be able to make wp-content my actual repo since it will have to be empty in order for Hostinger to create the repo. Plus, I would only like to track a few files in my wp-content folder. I hope this makes sense… I'm just curious about how others set up their environment to be able to push updates to the live website without having the whole website be a repo.
