* You have a [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development,_testing,_acceptance_and_production|Development-Testing-Acceptance-Production (DTAP)] workflow
* You have a custom theme (vs tweaks on a Tiki theme with some ((Custom CSS))
* Your theme evolves somewhat independently from the rest of the code development
* You care that the theme is up to date on instances beyond production
!! Option 1
* Use ((Manager|#instance:checkout|php tiki-manager instance:checkout))
* Use branches to deal with major changes of the theme (Ex.: ((Bootstrap)) 4 vs 5)
!! Option 2
If various Tiki instances on the same server, use symlinks to point to a shared directory which contains the theme. This directory can be managed by Git or just be files on disk.
