Wordpress, Forge & Version controlled WP Themes

Hey friends,

I'm currently developing a Wordpress site for my photography and I'm using Git to control the theme files. I know that I can set Wordpress up on Forge which is awesome, but how can I go about setting my server up to read from the theme's repo?

Do I need to do anything specific with the deploy script or will it work fine out of the box so to speak if I reuse a deploy script from one of my Laravel sites? I've not installed WP on Forge before.

Thanks in advance for any guidance :)

Andy

You should check out Bedrock, it lets you handle your entire WP site using composer.

@sutherland good shout dude, I totally forgot about Bedrock. What would be the process for setting up the Forge account with it? Do I create a site as a standard PHP/Laravel site or still set up as Wordpress?

Thanks for the reminder :)

Create it as a general PHP site and once it's linked to your repo it should deploy everything as you'd expect.
