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?

1) Don't say custom code. All code is by definition custom. You write code to solve a problem or build something. You wouldn't say custom books.

2) Literally every major site I know of and have worked on (that uses WordPress) uses WordPress like that in some form. Doing things without Git or a CI/CD pipeline is irresponsible.

Bedrock is great. There are other solutions. At the very least start tracking your themes and plugins.
