5 More New Drupal Videos for Members
Last week we talked about how to manage assets with version control, and in this week we dive a little deeper by going into how to get our full database into version control, and what the implications of that are. We then roll this into a feature branch and talk about best practices for managing your database in your repository over time.
How to export a database schema for version control
Generally, getting your database schema (data about table and fields) into version control is a good idea both for backups and for looking at changes over time. In this video we talk you through how to do this via the command line for easy future automation.
How to export database content for version control
While it's not always a great idea to store the full content of a database in your repository, there are some situations where it makes a lot of sense. In this video, we walk you through how to do this and exclude certain big, temporary tables you might not want to pull in.
Cleaning up our assets folder and rolling our assets into a feature branch
In this video, we take the logical next step and pull our changes into a new feature branch.
How often should you update version controlled database dumps and why
It's not always clear when you would need to record database changes in version control, so we explore some ideas in this video on the best way to approach updates.
FREE video of the week
Overview of a typical push cycle, with and without version control
In this video, we talk through the process of a typical push cycle where we migrate all of the changes we've made to our development site to a our live (production) site, and compare it side-by-side to a process that includes Features-based modules that wrap up configuration changes into code. After this, you'll want to dig into the Features module if you haven't already.
