WPEngine Git Push – DEPRECATED

By Cole Geerts (Unlicensed)

NOTE: This article is DEPRECATED as the preferred method of code deployment to both Pantheon and WP Engine is now GitHub Actions.

WPEngine provides a “no CI” method of deploying and managing WordPress instances via Git. By integrating WPEngine as a remote, you can leverage their Git hooks to update code.

Setting Up

git remote add wpe-dev git@git.wpengine.com:<remote-environment>/<project>.git will add the remote to your cloned Git repo. Run git remote -v to ensure that the remote is properly registered.

Usage

So long as the project has been set up properly, you should then be able to push to a given remote server git push <remote> <branch>
