Hello, First off, I just want to say how excited I am about GSAP going completely free for everyone—thanks to Webflow’s support. The community is buzzing, and I honestly can’t wait to see what’s coming next! I’m reaching out for some guidance and clarification as I prepare to dive into a new personal project that will heavily rely on GSAP animations, along with WordPress and Elementor Pro. 🔧 Project Setup – My Current Plan The project will involve a variety of animations and page-level interactions. Here's a brief outline of how I plan to manage everything: ----------- Layer Purpose Key Tools / Locations Local Dev Safe playground for building & testing. Local by Flywheel → (my local Browser URL) running Hello Elementor + Hello Child Theme. Source Code Modular animation code & global styles. hello-theme-child-master/src/… • js/animations/*/index.js • css/animations/*.css • js/app.js (aggregator) Bundling Turn scattered modules into a single, optimized payload. Webpack (installed via npm) + custom webpack.config.js; output enqueued by PHP. Version Control Single source of truth & change history. Git (repo lives in child‑theme folder) → push to GitHub main via VS Code’s Git Bash. Deployment Ship the latest build to production with one click. WP Pusher (monitors main branch). After each push, click Update in WP Pusher. Runtime (Browser) Execute GSAP timelines inside Elementor’s markup. GSAP CDN + your compiled app.js & animation CSS, loaded in the order you defined. ----------- ❓My Main Question Is this the right approach for a GSAP-heavy WordPress project using Elementor, or would it be more practical to simply use a Code Snippet Manager plugin and embed everything there? I’m aiming to be as structured and intentional as possible from the start, but if this direction is overcomplicating things, I’d rather adjust now than burn time later. Your insight would be invaluable and honestly a huge time-saver. I deeply appreciate your time, and apologies for the long message — I just wanted to provide full context. Looking forward to your response. Warm regards, George

Hi all, in the near future my department will be practicing gitflow when versioning our banner projects. The standard gitflow branches are nice. But I wanted to find out if any of you have discovered modified workflows serve banner development, since, banner dev isn't really analogous to software development. I look forward to your thoughts.
