No idea how I managed to get it all three of these to work together, but I finally deployed my first site last night!
Only question - there were 3300 files in the first commit - which I believe is waaay too much (not a ton of media). I know Git has the ability to “ignore” certain files/folders. Would anyone know what I can get away with ignoring?
