Hi @Dan_Foley 
DevKinsta uses Rsync method when doing that pull or push site processes.
Thank you for your input/concern. For now I will pass this (as a feature request) to our internal team, so that they can check and review if it’s possible to implement/to use git instead - though we can’t promise anything yet about it.
When new feature(s) is/are available in the new DevKinsta version, we will post it on our forum’s thread.
Cheers,
Agus
