Override option to re-enable automatic updates when .git is present #398

Closed Vilasamuni closed 3 years ago

Vilasamuni commented 3 years ago

When Health Check detects a .git directory it disables automatic updates. This is definitely a good default to protect people from all sorts of VCS-related mess, but I want a way to override this behaviour and re-enable automatic updates, and I haven't found any documentation on this in my searches yet.

I want to keep .git in the root of my WP install so I can track settings in .htaccess as well as custom themes and plugins, but I want to automatically install updates for WP core and non-custom themes and plugins. Is there a way to override this and say "I know what I'm doing, please enable auto updates even though .git is present"?

This doesn't really have anything to do with Health Check. That functionality is baked into the automatic updater. You can override that check using a filter: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/automatic_updates_is_vcs_checkout/
