FtpToGit

About the Project

I was commissioned by a web agency to develop a tool that helps them log configuration changes on client servers.
At the agency's request, this was built with Laravel Lumen, a stripped-down version of Laravel optimized for console applications.

How It Works

The tool can be configured for any number of client servers, with individual glob-style exclude lists, similar to a .gitignore file. After connecting to the client's server, the files are checked for changes and then logged in a local Git repository, which is then pushed to a remote Git server.
This way, Git's excellent version control is used to log every configuration change, which greatly simplifies troubleshooting in everyday agency work.
