I’m putting our WP Engine website into a Git repo, so that it’s easier for our team to manage, per the following instructions:

> **[Deploy your WP Engine hosted application with the ease of Git | WordPress...](https://wpengine.com/git/)**
>
> Please note: This article is geared toward users on the new User Portal experience, which allows users to create sites made of three environments: Production, Staging, and Development. For users on the legacy User Portal experience, consult our...

The Git repo has two remotes:

1. Bitbucket: Which is what we’ll use to manage branches, pull requests, etc.
2. WP Engine: So we can git push to the Development environment’s `master` branch

How can I connect Local to this Git repo?

I see Local just places everything under an /app folder, but there’s no version control.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.
