Jorge: A Tool for Juggling Git, Composer, and Lando

Monday, Oct 22 11:45 - 12:45

Presented by Jason Proctor

We had the rare opportunity to start from scratch on a new website: new platform, new hosting, new workflows, new everything. And we quickly figured out that the mechanics of keeping our development instances in synch with each other and the ever-growing master version were going to get in the way of actually doing the development work. So we wrote a command-line tool to automate the tricky bits, and it greatly improved both the developer experience and our understanding of the tools and platform we were using.
