Hello all,
I will be building and managing anywhere from 6-12 Wordpress sites soon. I was looking for the best way to version control them all and came upon Roots and Trellis and Bedrock.
It sounds like Roots.io will help me create and manage all these sites that will probably be hosted on the same server.
Each site will probably be using the same theme but may have different plugins installed.
My question is concerning a security update to Wordpress or some sort of core update. Is there a workflow I can have set up where I just update one repository or update something once and all sites will be updated?
So maybe each site would have a repository with only its unique plugins and other customized files in them but they all shared a main core repository that would be kept up to date with Wordpress core and on build I would pull in this repo and then overwrite some files with the individual sites repo? Or will I have to use a managed dashboard service or possibly even spin up each site locally and install the update and test, build on staging and test and then build on prod?
I have not tried Trellis yet and and have not used wordpress for a long time so this may not make any sense. I just want to know if this is possible at all with Roots.io before I started the project?
