Git / Version Control?

[Osorio]

Hi!

I want to start using Version Control during site development with PW, but I'm not sure how to do this, especially regarding the changes that don't happen in the filesystem but in the database.

Any Recommendations?

Yes you can do version control with git using processwire

(I recommend gitlab in order to host the code

https://gitlab.com/ )

But version controlling a database is something I do not have experience.

A quick search drops this result

Maybe you can go and make a database dump and git control that file.

and using git anex https://git-annex.branchable.com/ in order to keep large files.

When you look for a solution, this is the one that always comes up http://ben.kulbertis.org/2011/10/synchronizing-a-mysql-database-with-git-and-git-hooks/, it's worth a shot
