I would like to version control my WP sites with git.

  A big struggle I have with this is: who you version control options/plugin settings.

I would like to don't touch the dashboard in the live site. Only the users should need to login in to write posts - but I as a developer would like to log in only to check if everything is working on the live machine.

  Is there a way to do this?

I know that Drupal 8 has a build in configuration management - that's their solution. I also know versionpress and similar. But they also version control the posts/pages/users etc. I don't need this.

Maybe is there a lightweight framework or something to for example insert options/pages/settings via code.

Update option 'site_url' to 'http://example.com';
Reset update option 'site_url' to 'http://noexample.com';```

(the second line is to redo this step)

I guess there are some things in ruby on rails or similar.

  Would be great to separate code/options/settings and content/media/user-generated-stuff

I would like to version control my WP sites with git. A big struggle I have with this is: how do you version control options/plugin settings in the database.
