 * I’m working on a site that has an outdated version of WordPress and needs to 
   be upgraded. This site does not have FTP and all uploads are done through Github.
 * I have upgraded WordPress and plugin versions before simply through the admin
   panel, but as there is no FTP on this site, it’s not possible to do it this way.
 * Is doing this via Github as simple as downloading the latest version of WP/latest
   version of the plugin, unzipping it, and copying the new files into the site 
   directory, and then committing to Github? Or would this break the site? Is there
   a step in here I’m missing?
 * Thanks.
