Enable and use Git in TKL WordPress

Moving forward in the world of things I have to do now...
     Note to self - fail more and you will have less to learn...

 

We have gotten out WordPress site (TKL WordPress on Hyper-V) up and functional and now we need to tweak performance to make the SEO consultant (witch doctor) happy.  But before I go crazy adding plu-ings as requested I figured a good granular backup and recovery solution made sense.  I know TKLBAM, but powers that be want on premise only.  I use Updraft on the sly to make bulk backups but looks like I need Git to get the good stuff.  I was looking at Revisr plug-in but don't want to ship to GitHub.  I see that Git is in the TKL WordPress and I did check this link on How to setup Git but that applies to Redmine.  I plan on using GitHub's Window client to mange Git but at the moment I am lost.  I have a repo at /srv/repos/git/wordpress.git/ and based on this article (haacked.com) if I can get the HTTPS clone URL I can link Windows client.

 

I am looking at MAN GIT-INSTAWEB and MAN GITWEB to setup what I need.  If anyone has experience doing this let me know else I will document my atttempt here.

 

Thanks
