**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]](https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/67920/how-safe-are-signed-git-tags-only-as-safe-as-sha-1-or-somehow-safer) [[2]](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28792784/why-does-git-use-a-cryptographic-hash-function). 

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][3] 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?
