How to make small edits on a remote server?

Question

Work organization

Hello! Tell me, how best to make some small changes to files on the server? It happens that I take on freelance some small order that could be done right on the server. For example, add some button to the landing page and write styles for it. What is the best way to do this? I am using linux and phpstorm. Before that, I just set up auto-deploy, copied the files that I would change and saved them automatically on my server and on the server. But as I found out, this approach is, to put it mildly, not perfect =) How are you doing?

Answer 1

1) If the edits are minor, not improvements (such as changing the color of a button or heading styles), then without any tools at all - I went via FTP, corrected it, rolled it out.
2) If partial revision is required (to make news or something else), we make a copy, put it on our server, correct it, coordinate it, upload it to production.
In the case of the second option, you can use anything, githubs, githubs, and so on.

Answer 5
