I've created a project for my files (I find projects hard to navigate, namely 
no apparent way to move around without having to use the mouse, but maybe I'm 
missing something). Basically a bunch of WP files.

I'm using MAMP. I have the test site and the "production" site side by side, 
both managed under git and I'll be setting up sync to make sure I have 
everything under control. Then I need to find a way to sync to the ftp server 
(I don't have a clear idea how to do that but I'll get there eventually...)
