Template code deployment

I was wondering how others have organised their processes around updating the landingpage/email templates?
Is Marketo interface the only way to do that? I'm interested in some sort of terminal/command line tool to push the HTML template files straight into Marketo and approve them. That could have saved so much time for us.

You can use the Marketo REST API to do all CRUD and approval processes for both Email and Landing Page templates.  Whether you use a command line capable language like Python or not is completely up to you.

All languages are command-line capable!

But let's not pretend it's an easy thing to do... in reality, almost no users are doing desktop workflow into Marketo assets, because well-tested tools don't exist.

Consider the question of API limits. A workgroup periodically saving data, triggering a watch folder CLI, and flushing to Marketo can use thousands of API calls. And then there's the fact that API connections must be serialized (to guarantee in-order updates) and each one could sometimes take 30s to complete.
