I'm sorry, I didn't make that part clear. We want to use git, and will move forward using it individually with our github account as a centralized store for our code.
My hesitation begins with how we get our code from our development environments to the test server. Or the most efficient way to do it... 1) can git manage this for us somehow? 2) should we continue manually copying files from our local dev to the test server? That is what I meant by change. We are not sure how best to manage the testing. Maybe a centralized github defeats the purpose and we shouldn't use it? Maybe there is a better way to get our code to the test server? Thanks again!

How do we make git work bestfor our setup? Do we really need to change? If you're not using revision control now, then, most emphatically, yes, you need to change. Is there a better way for our reviewprocess by the QA team? (who are *not* coders at all, btw) I would set up a ci server to build and deploy your applications. Then after the build on test is certified by QA, they promote it to production and maybe even deploy to production using the CI server. I would either use git tags or build artifact versions that can be used to determine a git hash to track exactly which code gets deployed to production. I don't see any reason git wouldn't work for you. You sound as if you have some reason to think it wouldn't, but don't say what it is.
