If your team is interested in using Continuous Integration (CI) or Continuous Deployment (CD) methods with WP Engine, DeployBot<\/a> is one of the most useful tools available. In this CI\/CD pipeline, developers push changes to GitHub or Bitbucket. DeployBot detects changes and triggers a deploy of these changes to WP Engine. In the process you can also trigger build scripts for your CSS or JavaScript if needed. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
