Initial wordpress deploy via git

I set up every environment with a fresh WordPress installation. Then I do an initial commit from my local dev and start working there with Gitflow Workflow. Then I deploy the develop branch to the staging environment and the master branch to the live site. I ignore all the uploads in wp-content/uploads. Every instance will be packed with different contents, since every environment will mainly be accessed by someone different / for a different purpose / at a different project time. Here’s my .gitignore:
