@ScribeOfGoD The last time I used git to manage my websites, the cache would get all fked up every time I would pull the file changes from the git repository.

@ScribeOfGoD I started to write a reply, then it hit me. Does Cloudflare cache website files?
-
@ScribeOfGoD That may have been the problem then 😒

@BaconatorNoVeg Please read the section mentioning the "Cache-Control" header and "s-maxage" of this article:
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/...-
and re-gain your faith in this awesome service called Cloudflare. -
@Meta I love Cloudflare. I just never knew I had the cache enabled.

@creator So basically what would happen is I would pull changes to the web server from the git repository. Some files would update, and other files such as images and stylesheets would keep their cached versions. This would break my websites with major, undesirable results. What I didn't realize was my websites were being cached by Cloudflare. I will start using git again to vc these sites, but I will probably be purging the Cloudflare cache every time I pull an update.
I once accidentally deleted the live versions of my websites instead of the development versions (which I wanted to delete because I was going to start over from the live versions.) After several hours of digging through backup folders, I finally found the latest backup files, which were a few months old.
It took me a few hours to get the backed up versions to the same version they were when they were live. In all this, I have learned to keep the live and development versions of my sites in completely different locations.
