I'm by no means a git expert. Far from it. But I am/was simply aware of high-level discussions on the unintended security benefits using git. [1] [2].
If there's a particular niche in the direction of my question, its only the result of my framing of the question. The "opinion" in my post that's a problem is my opinion. hahah! I question if git will give me everything I want despite never using it for security--it's simply naivete on my part.
This is a perfect example of an opinion based discussion:
Whereas, my problem can be addressed by a useful list of technical instructions which may be implemented. These instructions include the use of cPanel, Bash (git), and WordPress Administrator settings. This file includes a list of vulnerabilities you may encounter from cloning a WordPress site. Do you still think this isn't a WordPress developer question?
Can we agree there is a difference sense of the term 'opinion' as it applies to the above post compared to my post?
