uSync
Deploy Umbraco settings and content, and keep them in source control
uSync writes your Umbraco settings and content to disk as files, so they can live alongside your code and move with your deployments.
uSync is free and open source. It syncs settings, content and media at no cost. uSync.Complete is the commercial add-on that brings publishing between servers, sync packs, snapshots and user syncing.

What people use it for
Getting settings into source control
Document types and data types are code, and they belong in your repository. uSync serialises them to readable files that diff and merge like anything else, so a change to a document type will show up in your pull request.
Deploying without a checklist
Settings import on startup, so a deployment carries its own schema changes.
Quick onboarding for developers
Clone, run, and uSync builds the site's settings out of the files in the repository. New developers can get Umbraco working without a database restore.
Keeping many sites consistent
Running the same platform across dozens of sites gets much easier when the shared settings are files you can copy, review and roll out deliberately.
