    Hi,

    I’ve had my EE license for a while but I took a job where they used Drupal, (ewww), so I’ve not had chance to work with my EE site, but I am back on it now and want some advice on an ideal workflow.

    I’m using Coda 2, not that it matters too much, and I also use Git Tower and Beanstalk to deploy my files.  That is what I use in Wordpress and Lemonstand sites I develop. 

    Now in EE I only want to track my template files obviously and my assets (not templates, but images, css and js) folder which I have named ‘.’ and it sits in the root of my site.

    I’m going to ignore all files other than these 2 folders.

    .
    assets/templates/

    Is that correct?

    Can I also ask why is the template folder in a folder called assets? 

    Also database.  Now I plan to have 3 sites:

    1.  Development (local)
    2.  Staging
    3.  Live

    I can use Tower to commit into Git and that is managed by Beanstalk who will have deployments automatically for Staging and manually for Live.

    What is the best and most efficient way for managing the database?

    Hope that all made sense. 😊
