Raspberry Pi 4 -- Yes, You Can Use it for Web Development

It'll take a while for you to optimize your Pi 4, but the answer is a definitive "YES"--you can manage a development workflow on it. The real question is, do you want to?

Background

One of the big concerns with the Raspberry Pi 4 as a daily driver is, of course, whether the hardware can handle the comparable workload of a desktop computer. I've already touched lightly on overclocking the Pi and optimizing a boot disk. The final question is whether the little SBC actually has enough software support to be productive--in any effective sense.

Git: Previewing Multiple Branches in a Single Environment

One of the most difficult aspects of web development has little to do with code: it's called workflow management--and it can mean the difference between hitting Go-Live and adding days or weeks to a project. Things can turn uggly quickly when a finite number of development environments come to odds with exponential requests for code changes. When things get ugly like this, though, Git shines not just as a version control system but as a workflow management tool.

Before I dive hard into the meat of this post, let's get some basic assumptions out of the way--I'm gonna assume that:
