<p>The Version Control Your Content plugin provides an alternative to the native WP <a href="https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/revisions/" rel="ugc">Revisions</a> feature using Git services.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>A GitHub account. If you don’t have one, you can create one <a href="https://github.com/join" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</li>
<li>A GitHub private repository. If you don’t have one, you can create one <a href="https://github.com/new" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</li>
<li>(Optional but highly recommended) A GitHub fine-grained personal access token. If you don’t have one, you can create one <a href="https://github.com/settings/tokens/new" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin provides an option for version control in the following places for now:</p>
<ol>
<li>Block Editor (Gutenberg)</li>
<li>Classic Editor</li>
<li>Additional CSS in the Customizer</li>
<li>Default Settings pages in WP Admin</li>
</ol>
<p>On all supported pages, you will see a “Version Control” box, and you can activate or deactivate it for that page. It will also show you the real-time GitHub API usage in the top admin bar.</p>
<p>This solution will put minimal load on your server because there will be no database entries, no complex SQL operations, and only simple JavaScript-based API calls to external Git services.</p>
<h4>How it works behind the scenes?</h4>
<ol>
<li>When you submit any HTML form, such as saving a post, it captures the form data via JavaScript before sending it to the server backend.</li>
<li>It sanitizes the data and converts it to JSON format (if needed).</li>
<li>It sends that JSON or HTML data to your Git repository via a commit.</li>
<li>In this way, all your changes will be new commits in your Git repo in related JSON or HTML files.</li>
<li>In the commits box, a list of all commits will be shown. It will also provide an option to view the changes or revert to that version.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Planned Upcoming Features</h4>
<p>Currently, I have developed it for three views as described above, and the following features will be added in the future:</p>
<ul>
<li>Integration with page builders like Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, etc.</li>
<li>Integration with WooCommerce</li>
<li>Integration with BuddyPress</li>
<li>Integration with bbPress</li>
<li>Integration with WPML, etc.</li>
</ul>

<p>Automatic git version control and deployment for your plugins and themes integrated into wp-admin.</p>
<h3>About the makers</h3>
<p>This plugin was developed by the crafty people at Presslabs—the Smart Managed WordPress Hosting Platform. Here we bring high-performance hosting and business intelligence for WordPress sites. In our spare time, we contribute to the global open-source community with our code.</p>
<p>We’ve built Gitium back in 2013 to provide our clients a more simple and error-free method to integrate a new git version control into their code management flow.</p>
<h3>What is Gitium?</h3>
<p>This plugin enables continuous deployment for WordPress, integrating with tools such as Github, Bitbucket or Travis-CI. Theme or plugin updates, installs and removals are all automatically versioned. Ninja code edits from the WordPress editor are also tracked by the version control system.</p>
<h3>Why is Gitium?</h3>
<p>Gitium is designed with responsible development environments in mind, allowing staging and production to follow different branches of the same repository. You can also deploy code by simply using git push.</p>
<p>Gitium requires git command line tool with a minimum version of 1.7 installed on the server and the proc_open PHP function enabled.</p>
<h3>Gitium features:</h3>
<p>-preserves the WordPress behavior<br />
-accountability for code changes<br />
-safe code storage—gets all code edits in Git</p>
<h3>Development</h3>

<h3>Receiving is nicer when giving</h3>
<p>We’ve built this to make our lives easier and we’re happy to do that for other developers, too. We’d really appreciate it if you could contribute with code, tests, documentation or just share your experience with Gitium.</p>
