Tracking database content with Git doesn't seem to be a good idea. What you may need instead is schema migrations, e.g. track the file containing queries necessary for adding storage space for the new features > > 2) Should I use single or multiple branches for separate pages (index, authentication and member pages)? I don't think so. There are many approaches here, e.g. you may want to stick to the development model you already mentioned: one branch for every feature. But even that may be unnecessary, depending on your workflow. > > 3) How can I automatically deploy web site if it contains database's and mail gateway's credentials? First things first: Git is not a deployment tool. There are many deployment tools out there that can utilize Git, though. Also, storing different credentials in the repository is usually a bad idea, especially if your repository is public (e.g. hosted on GitHub). You may want to create a default config file with your development server credentials, and at the end of this file include an untracked config which overwrites the necessary values. > > It's a bit easier to use git when you already have a web site. In that case we simply create new branch for each update. I guess there are no unique solution for my case and each and every person finds its own way to use git but any suggestion/sharing experience will be highly appropriated > > Thanks in advance > > Yehuda Katz > > p.s.
