xStatic adds Git and FTP support

By popular demand Git and FTP support has been added to xStatic. This latest beta release also makes it possible to add in a custom deployer, and adds a little bit of logging and better error handling.

What do I do?

I build websites based on the Sitecore and Umbraco CMS platforms. I have over 10 years of C# and JavaScript experience. I've also released a few open source projects and like to take photos.

Free stuff!

Every component I've built for this site I've open sourced and released as the free UmbracoFolio package. This can be installed and used for free from the packages section within Umbraco.
