Zend has announced that the upcoming version of Zend Studio (9.0) will fully support Git and GitHub, enhancing the experience for PHP developers. This new feature allows users to easily take a PHP project from GitHub, run it locally, and deploy it to Zend's phpcloud.com in just a few minutes, demonstrated effectively by a live session. Users can start by choosing a new PHP project from GitHub, entering their GitHub username, and deploying it to phpcloud.com. While Zend Studio 9.0 is currently in beta, those seeking a free solution can use the zend-sdk, which offers similar functionality via the command line.
