Version Control - webdevelopment - small team - OSX


I like to set up a version control like Bitbucket to develop websites in a team of 3 peolpe on OSX. (https://bitbucket.org)

1. Currently (bad and old way): All users are creating there files locally and put it via ftp on the webserver.

2. How we want to do it: All users create their files locally (working copy) and do a commit (easy?, fast and great!)

Question: Do I understand it correctly that I can set up a Bitbucket account for free (up to 5 people) and create a repository so all my users (private) can download a working copy and commit their changes easily for example like it does TortoiseSVN on Windows AND after the commit the "new" Website (working copy again?) is live?

I hope you can help me (us) - Thank you!


Solution

  • all my users (private) can download a working copy

    as long as the number of the "all users" does not exceed 5.

    like it does TortoiseSVN on Windows

    bitbucket is git and doesn't support SVN AFAIU. So the "like" might be quite relative. There are easy to use GUI tools nowadays though, SourceTree is one example.

    AND after the commit the "new" Website (working copy again?) is live?

    No, not out of the box in a generic case. Depending on kind of the website and hosting there might be various options like publishing a static website or integrating via the hooks or set something up at your hosting side.
