We're using Guard to compile SCSS and Coffeescript to the Wordpress theme folder. To install:
$ cd /path/to/repo
$ bundle install
$ guard watch
Guard will watch changes to files in /source
The uwdesign2013.com site is hosted on Padoga Box. To host on Pagoda Box, included is a Boxfile containing some config info as well as the appropriate configuration in /public/wp-config.php.
We use git to deploy changes, e.g:
$ git remote add pagoda git@git.pagodabox.com:uwdesign2013.git
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Example commit message"
$ git push pagoda master
There's some more info here
Alternatively, simply make changes to the CSS and Javascript in /public/wp-content/uwdesign20xx, and push the public folder to any hosting service. Set up the wp-config.php file as specified by the host database.
