Hi all,

I'm interested in keeping a repository of our site so we can track changes more conveniently. I have some idea of what I want to do but I'm still kind of a cs cart noob. What are some approaches that have been working for you?

Just ask your hosting administrator to install and configure Git on your server. Then learn main commands, it is not quite complex

Ok I should be more specific here. I am fairly experienced with git. What I am asking is like, what does a "good" cscart .gitignore look like in your opinion.

So for example, is there anything in var/ you feel is worth having checked, or is it simply adequate to have app/ alone under version control.

The only thing I can think of that you might want to check in /var/ is the themes_repository. It's only used for restoring default templates so it's basically your call.

Cool, thanks, sounds good.

I would preserve:

robots.txt
.htaccess
config.local.php
init.php
config.php
js
local.conf.php
php.ini
app
design
var/themes_repository
var/files
var/downloads
var/langs
var/snapshots
var/upgrade

Note that some of the var files may not exist on your site as well as local_conf.php.
