An Introduction to using Features, Drush, and Git

Are you making changes such as creating Views, configuring content types or saving settings forms on your live Drupal site? If so you probably already know it is easy to make mistakes that cause big problems on your site.

This session will introduce the Features module which will allow you to make these configuration settings on your local development environment and then easily deploy them to your live site.

After the introduction to the Features module we will look at how it becomes even more powerful when combined with Drush and Git for version control.

Using Features, Drush, and Git will make life much easier for multiple developers working on single Drupal site.  The tools methods learned in this session can be used in any Drupal hosting environment including Pantheon and Acquia.
