 * Does this plugin work TWO-WAY? Meaning, if anybody modifies the codebase over
   on GitHub or Bitbucket where we are storing the repository, it updates the LIVE
   site if the matching branch (ie: Production) is pushed. But what if a new plugin
   is installed from inside the WP backend web interface? Or if the code EDITOR 
   is used inside WP backend? Do those new files/changes update on the repository
   as well?

 * Hi,
 * Yes, the plugin supports the scenarios that you posted above.
 * For example you could have Revisr installed on [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com),
   tracking branch “master” that is tracking remote branch “origin/master” (usually
   Bitbucket/GitHub).
 * If you update a plugin directly from the wp-admin on [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com),
   or use the code editor, you’d be able to commit these changed files and push 
   them back up to “origin/master”. Alternatively you could upgrade the plugin on
   Bitbucket/Github/outside of Revisr and then use Revisr to pull those changes 
   in.
 * In other words, since it’s using Git repos, it will detect any sort of file changes
   on the environment it is installed on. But you can also pull down any changes
   from a remote repo as needed.
 * Marking this as resolved, but feel free to let me know if you have any further
   questions or if I confused your use-case at all. Thanks!

 * Oh that’s really interesting. So that’s how you get it to synchronize with a 
   certain branch, you put “origin/master” or whatever the branch name is? You put
   origin and then a slash and then the branch name?

 * Hi,
 * Nope :), “origin/master” is just how you would refer to the “master” branch on
   a remote named “origin” (which is what most remotes are named by default in Git).
 * If you set up Revisr and are on local branch “master” and have it connected to
   a fresh Bitbucket repo, and then do a “Push Changes” from within Revisr, it will
   automatically push to the “master” branch on the remote (which could be referred
   to as “origin/master”.
 * But you don’t need to actually specify any of that in Revisr as long as the remote
   is set up correctly (and you’d see errors when pushing/pulling if not).
