A practical Hostilla.pl example
When maintaining a website, describe the expected result first and record the current configuration. GitHub can then be checked against application requirements, hosting limits, logs and a rollback plan.
What should you check?

- software versions and required dependencies
- a current backup or reversible change plan
- logs and a repeatable verification after the change
