September 3, 2015

In this episode, we talk to Peter Suhm, creator of the WP Pusher plugin. We cover a lot of topics: GitHub, version control, deployment strategies, how Doug and David use WP Pusher on their own sites, and alternative traction channels to WordPress.org.

The Core

  • Peter Suhm from Copenhagen, Denmark
  • PHP and WordPress developer, met David at WordCamp Europe
  • WP Pusher originally designed as a SaaS, later turned into a plugin
  • Git is a version control system for code, and not just for teams
  • GitHub and BitBucket are the common platforms
  • WP Pusher allows you to deploy directly from GitHub or BitBucket to WordPress
  • Makes it easier for agencies with lots of customer sites
  • 5-day Git crash course on http://wppusher.com
  • Case studies:
    • Doug: using it for his iTunes review plugin – one install for the free plugin version in the WordPress.org repository, one install for the SaaS stable, and one install for the SaaS feature testing, using push-to-deploy
    • David: using it for theme deployment on https://fatcatapps.com
  • Typical customers: mostly freelancers and smaller agencies
  • Traction channels:
    • Alternative methods to wordpress.org because of terms of service conflict
    • Press – primarily WP Tavern
  • Twitter: @petersuhm
  • Website: http://wppusher.com (free version and crash course)
