Hello, I am Sato of non-standard world.

If you’re in charge of the web, there are many people who have been reluctant to do so once or twice.

In CMS, there are many things that the update history remains on the system side, but for static files such as HTML and images, it should be troubled by update management. Many people in charge of managing the update history in Excel etc.

Git is a version control system to prevent ancestral reversion

In order to prevent ancestral reversion of websites, it is recommended that you use the version control system "Git".

Using Git provides the following benefits:

• You can automatically and accurately record "who, when, where and how you have changed" simply by doing a "commit" operation on an update.
• Those update histories can be viewed at any time from the "commit history".
• If a ancestral return is likely to occur, an error called "conflict" will be displayed so that it can prevent the ancestral return beforehand

At our production company, we often use this mechanism to version the source code. While there are some initial hurdles to getting used to the concept of Git, it is a very useful one once you remember. There are also many applications that can be intuitively manipulated so you don't have to know about engineering, and I recommend that you consider using them if your company's web team is in charge of updating them.

when dealing with the problem manually

If you are manually dealing with the above problems, you will have to take the following steps:

How about it?
It can be said that it takes time and is an inaccurate method that makes human error easy to occur.

Git, a version control system, can be managed on cloud servers. GitHub With the help of “Analysis” you can solve problems as described above at once.

• Centralize and share source code so that collaborators can always edit based on the latest source code
• automatically record who made the changes and view them in a list)
• Multiple people can edit the same file and use a dedicated tool to manage how changes are integrated.
• In addition, GitHub will work with production servers to automatically reflect changed files and revoke public ones.

The Cost of Using GitHub

Git itself is free, but GitHub for the cloud service costs $25 per month for up to 5 users (as of August 2018).

In addition, if it is NG to store the data of a website on an external cloud such as security policy, there are also types of Enterprise plans that you install and use on your own server for $21 per user per month.

Summary

While ancestral reversal is a serious problem in website management, manual countermeasures are very difficult and mistakes will always occur.

Create an “environment” that doesn’t make mistakes, rather than being careful not to make them.. Git and GitHub are tools that will always contribute to this.

I hope that all web administrators will create an environment where they can focus on the content (content) to be updated, and realize efficient Web management.
