Revisr

Revisr basically creates a Git repository out of your site's WordPress source code, tracking changes, and allowing users to go back and forward between different versions of the site.

Because of Git's great version control features, developers can work on the site's source code, track file changes as commits, and push these commits to a local or remote Git server.

If a problem occurs or site updates don't pan out as they should, developers can easily retrieve a previous commit and reset the local site to a previous version.

Support for the site's MySQL database is included, allowing developers to track and control database content as well.

Besides simple Git repos, Revisr also supports Git accounts on sites like Bitbucked and GitHub, and also includes a special feature to let developers manage their .gitignore files.
