Download IIS Website to Versioning

Question

Problem: . So far I am building an IIS website / application using the IIS manager tool. The problem is that the changes to the IIS website are not documented as they should be. For example: when I update the URL rewriting rules, these changes should be documented in the version control solution.

What is your solution to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Using the control source is possible in any type of project, including the Web site or Web application projects. Are you going to install Continuous Integration ?

Answer 2

Yes, you can have your project in source control. Then create a PowerShell and / or MSBuild assembly that can deploy your site to pure IIS (or at least with all the dependencies there). This will document the steps required to deploy your site.
