In this episode, we talk to Peter Suhm, creator of the WP Pusher plugin. We cover a lot of topics: GitHub, version control, deployment strategies, how Doug and David use WP Pusher on their own sites, and alternative traction channels to WordPress.org.

The Core

* Peter Suhm from Copenhagen, Denmark
* PHP and WordPress developer, met David at WordCamp Europe
* WP Pusher originally designed as a SaaS, later turned into a plugin
* Git is a version control system for code, and not just for teams
* GitHub and BitBucket are the common platforms
* WP Pusher allows you to deploy directly from GitHub or BitBucket to WordPress
* Makes it easier for agencies with lots of customer sites
* 5-day Git crash course on http://wppusher.com
* Case studies:

* Doug: using it for his iTunes review plugin - one install for the free plugin version in the WordPress.org repository, one install for the SaaS stable, and one install for the SaaS feature testing, using push-to-deploy
* David: using it for theme deployment on https://fatcatapps.com

* Typical customers: mostly freelancers and smaller agencies
* Traction channels:

* Alternative methods to wordpress.org because of terms of service conflict
* Press - primarily WP Tavern
