Using Git to Manage a Live Web Site

Overview

As a freelancer, I build a lot of web sites. That's a lot of code changes to track. Thankfully, a Git-enabled workflow with proper branching makes short work of project tracking. I can easily see development features in branches as well as a snapshot of the sites' production code. A nice addition to that workflow is that ability to use Git to push updates to any of the various sites I work on while committing changes.

Workbooks that were referenced during analysis.(The state of the WBs when referred to, were dated between 20th Aug - 22nd Aug 2019)

UPR - Asia Shared Site - UPR - New Client Request Form_v2.0 (1)
Unilever - Crown NAM - New Client Request Form - UL Domestic v2.6
TWE - New Client Request Form+Custom IF with CP v16
Volvo - Crown Global - New Client Request Form_Volvo_v1.4
BP - Asia - New Client Request Form_British Petroleum Asia Pacific v1.6
HAVI - NAM Client Configuration Workbook v1.8

CDS Mapping

After having a look into the CDS mapping sheet of the above mentioned WBs, I came across three patterns

Create file at ~/console/chain/generate-controller-form-render.yml containing:

command:
  name: 'generate:controller:form:render'
  description: 'Controller + Form generator'
commands:
  - command: 'generate:module'
    options:
        module: example

	$items = array(
