How do I host my entire WordPress installation running git?

So the process is simple, but don't forget to include the database dump in your repository.

let's say you have the WordPress program installed at / Users / yourHome / theSite and then:

• create or copy a site database backup to / Users / yourHome / theSite / dbdump
• go to site folder cd /Users/yourHome/theSite
  
  
• Complete all git add .
  
  
• hand them over git commit -m 'Your commit message
  
  
• set the remote repository to wherever you need to push git remote set-url origin https://example.com/remote/sample.git
  
  
• and finally press git push -u origin master
  
  

Please note that I am assuming you already have a git repo on the site. otherwise, you need to start in the place before step 2. Don't say like step 1.5 :)git init

so after the db backup is ready you have to:

cp -rf the/db/backup/* /Users/yourHome/theSite/dbdump/
cd /Users/yourHome/theSite/dbdump
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'Your commit message'
git remote set-url origin https://example.com/remote/sample.git
git push -u origin master
