VersionPress goes open source

Helpful info for me:<p><i>VersionPress is a free and open source version control plugin for WordPress built on Git.</i><p><i>We increase major version numbers quite rapidly, e.g., VersionPress is at 3.0 at the time of writing this, but that does not mean it is production-ready.</i>

The &#x27;merge databases&#x27; feature sounds like either a sweet victory of immutable data that makes life easier all around OR something truly horrible that never should have been born.<p>If these guys have solved the WP devops problem, they will be millionaires and candidates for canonization.

What is your business model now that you&#x27;re not charging for the software?

Check out the <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;roots.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;roots.io</a> project, not the same thing, but relevant to &quot;modern&quot; Wordpress dev practices.

This is a problem that&#x27;s bugged me for a long time - it&#x27;s good to see people working on it. Deploying and managing most traditional CMSes is a nightmare, IMO.<p>MODX has had something similar for a while with Gitify[1] for the site structure and VersionX[2] for content, but I haven&#x27;t had much of a chance to use them.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;modmore&#x2F;Gitify" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;modmore&#x2F;Gitify</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;modx.com&#x2F;extras&#x2F;package&#x2F;versionx" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;modx.com&#x2F;extras&#x2F;package&#x2F;versionx</a>

I put a client&#x27;s site in a git repo once, but I never figured out how to safely and effectively git the database too. Kudos to VersionPress! I&#x27;ve only learned about them today but they seem to be doing a really solid job.

I manage hundreds on WP sites and this tool is exactly what our company needs. Im looking forward into trying it out and contributing the project.

I&#x27;ve used revisr for this in the past:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ExpandedFronts&#x2F;revisr" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ExpandedFronts&#x2F;revisr</a>

Im not sure if versionpress is having load issues. But Im not able to load any docs.versionpress.net links.
