Ive been using Gits version control system for local theme development on a WordPress site. I decided to take advantage of WPEngine’s git capabilities which has caused more frustration than not.

I am able to push, and I have my remotes set properly but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to define where the git repository goes. My goal is to push the repository into the themes directory so any changes I make locally once pushed get updated on the staging/live site. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
