@dcaryll You should wait and Buy ST3 when it comes out of Beta. It’ll be more expensive ($80?), but totally worth it.

Using Git for projects & deployments involves 3 things: Git installed on your PC, GitHub/BitBucket/*, and Git installed on your server.

via Buffer

I’m learning to love SSH. This means I’ll start to use Git for personal projects & automate deployment. Blog post upcoming for us designers.
