Automatic git version control and deployment for your plugins and themes integrated into wp-admin.
== About the makers ==
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.
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.
== What is Gitium? ==
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.
== Why is Gitium? ==
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.
Gitium requires git command line tool with a minimum version of 1.7 installed on the server and the proc_open PHP function enabled.
== Gitium features: ==
-preserves the WordPress behavior
-accountability for code changes
-safe code storage—gets all code edits in Git
== Development ==

== Receiving is nicer when giving ==
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.

= Manual Installation =
1. Upload `gitium.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory;
2. Extract the `gitium.zip` archive into the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory;
3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
Alternatively, go into your WordPress dashboard and click on Plugins -> Add Plugin and search for `Gitium`. Then, click on Install and, after that, on Activate Now.
= Usage =
Activate the plugin and follow the on-screen instructions under the `Gitium` menu.
_IMPORTANT_: Gitium does its best not to version your WordPress core, neither your `/wp-content/uploads` folder.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Could not connect to remote repository? =
If you encounter this kind of error you can try to fix it by setting the proper username of the .git directory.
Example: chown -R www-data:www-data .git
= Is this plugin considered stable? =
Yes, we consider the plugin stable after extensive usage in production environments at Presslabs, with hundreds of users and powering sites with hundreds of millions of pageviews per month.
= What will happen in case of conflicts? =
The behavior in case of conflicts is to overwrite the changes on the `origin` repository with the local changes (ie. local modifications take precedence over remote ones).
= How to deploy automatically after a push? =
You can ping the webhook url after a push to automatically deploy the new code. The webhook url can be found under `Gitium` menu, `Settings` section. This url also plays well with Github or Bitbucket webhooks.
= Does it works on multi site setups? =
Gitium does not support multisite setups at the moment.
= How does gitium handle submodules? =
Submodules are currently not supported.
== Upgrade Notice ==
= 1.0.5 =
Fixed wrong redirection for multisite installations during initial setup
