OT:
Did something important happen, Joe?
I see few potential issues going forward
I’d agree. Further, the bigger problem I see is that by auto-pushing you’re effectively returning to the days of “cowboy coding,” making real-time changes to live sites.
I think using git as a publishing system is a great idea (it’s one of the main uses I have for it), but it’s important that you actually have to “push the button.” Now, a small desktop utility that manages this could be pretty damn cool.
