• ... for the same reasons you would version control an extension
• Change tracking and rollback
• Keep code in sync with other team members
• Easy TYPO3 upgrades by updating submodule
Version Control

• Any content generated in production
- Database
- Static files in fileadmin
- Static files in uploads
- Anything in typo3temp
- Temp files and logs in typo3conf
- Autogenerated RealURL configuration
- Server-specific configuration (ie. localconf.site.php)
Version Control
What should I leave out of version control?

• MAMP Pro makes Apache & Virtual Hosts more accessible
