There are multiple ways you can bring code and content into your Sitecore instance. Here at BrainJocks we are big fans of TDS, Git, cloud infrastructures, and Atlassian toolset – our local deployments are TDS-powered, our continuous build and deployment vehicle is Elastic Bamboo, and with little PowerShell, curl, and Sitecore.Ship we push code and […]
