title: Sync wordpress plugin updates to git repo
body: <p>I have a wordpress site that I am finally getting into git. Previously I was editing changes locally and uploading via ftp. I want to come up with a strategy to be able to do the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Update my git repository with any changes made on the ftp server (plugin updates etc). That I will then sync that down into my local copy</p></li>
  <li><p>Push locally tested changes into git and then deploy via ftp (I know how to do this part)</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I don't know the best way to approach 1 and I'm very new to using git (usually use svn).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
