I recently started trying out Publii, so others can correct me if I am wrong: the best way right now seems to be what is described here: https://getpublii.com/blog/managing-static-website-on-multiple-computers.html

For the ones who don't want to use the cloud: I use a syncing tool to keep my Publii projects up to date on my Macs. I use Resilio Sync, a paid one, but there others for free, e.g. SyncThing

I think this should be a priority for Publii to be used by smaller teams. I.e. it makes little sense that multiple authors can post, but the software is difficult to use in a team / multi-device environment.

Since Publii already has capabilities to have Git as a server for the static website; I think it makes sense to allow Publii to have the working files managed using Git.
This configuration should be site based.
Everytime the user publices the working files to be commited to Git and merged to master.

How feasible would git be when it comes the site db, especially since it locks up once one Publii instance/device/user edits it? I'm not a git expert, so perhaps someone here has more insight...

Although articles/posts can be categorized using different author names, I'm not sure if Publii is the right tool for a site that's meant to be edited by multiple people.

In most teams I've worked for, there was typically only one person who managed website additions and edits, and that was regardless of platform. There may be content written, reviewed, and approved by other members, but the insertion and update would be done by 1 person (or max 2-3).

Publii's interface doesn't have "users" or permission levels, so controlling who gets to make what change in the UI is tricky.

I've mentioned it in some Discussion posts (#1478 (reply in thread), #1414 (comment)), but for people looking for a more advanced CMS that can handle many contributors who write posts directly inside the app and different user roles / restrictions: Ghost CMS might be a better fit.
