In general, but mostly: How do you transfer your changes from dev machine to production site? Is it like restoring a backup? I’m using the docker recommended method of install.

Changes are supposed to be done either via plugins or themes, so you can use the standard workflows of Install plugins on a self-hosted site and Installing a theme or theme component

[image] beeburrt: Is it like restoring a backup? Definitely not - data never goes from development to Production.

Definitely not - data never goes from development to Production. Thank you. Said such as I won’t forget. OK, thank you both of you.

What's yall's work-flow like?
