HN discussionhttps://pantheon.io/ has WordPress plans with dev/staging/prod sites integrated with git. If you want git, I would highly recommend trying their system out rather than trying to figure out how to make WP cooperate on your own. WP installs normally don't use a VCS at all.

I know Pantheon does this, for example. https://pantheon.io/open-source There has also been some discussion of integrating this functionality in…

on “Systemd v230 kills background processes after user logs out, breaks screen, tmux”While it doesn't seem very popular in Hacker News, I think WordPress [1] is an excellent platform for a blog. The community is terrific, there is a tremendous amount of documentation out there, and it is entirely customisable.
