    I am very new to WordPress but I am software developer.
    I am basically want to have a VC system with git repo. each time I add a new plugin or change something I am terrified if I back something.

    How do you guys backup your changes and try it out before release and how do you merge it to the main website

    How does the database and licensing work?
    Please provide me all the information

    Ps: I have my own git repository and I only have ftp to my website

    Hello!

    There are lots of hosting options out there that provide a development workflow.

    You can read a bit about how to get going here:

    http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-staging-environment-for-a-wordpress-site/

    It is definitely recommended that you cultivate the ability to:

    Backup often
    Backup to your host (with local files)
    Be comfortable with restoring when needed
    Be able to clone your site to test updates or new settings

    On our server requirements page we recommend Cloudways which has a lot of integrated functionality including the ability to clone a WP site, with the assorted bells and whistles to make that a relatively painless affair.

    WP uses MySQL, and you can check out their licensing on Oracle’s site: https://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/
