version control of database

Mon, 21 Nov 2016 04:10:41 +0000

Hello,

I trying to set up version control (with git/github) of my q2a-site in a usable way. What I want to be able to do, is to version control all php/css and "some" of the database.

The reason for wanting a version control on the database is that I want to persist all the settings (site name, URL of logo, categories, page settings, etc, etc, etc).

I do not want to version control all the questions and answers and users though. And in fact, I want to be able to have different versions of the users and questions (e.g. for dev and production) but use the same settings in both versions.

Is there a best practise for this? What I would like to do, is to have all configurations in files rather than in the database, and version control those files...

Thanks!

Help on github after clone, done changes, now committing - pull request?!

Mon, 17 Nov 2014 02:22:10 +0000

Hi Scott and pupi1985, I saw that you are already familiar with github. I am new to the subject... What I did so far:

1. installed software github for windows

2. went on https://github.com/q2a/question2answer + clicked on fork

3. opened github for windows and cloned "question2answer"

4. did my changes to the code (...)

5. now want to push back to the repo, however, it shows only the option to commit to "master" (NOT dev branch showing up?!)

6. I commited the changes to my master: https://github.com/q2apro/question2answer (which is the fork)

7. Now I want to create a pull request to the official dev branch of q2a

Here I am stuck.

PS: This is my fork with the changes: https://github.com/q2apro/question2answer/commit/0b87d622444b23773a0b2fdccf269da9b029cd12

Setup project management for Q2A

Wed, 23 Feb 2011 06:22:12 +0000

Hi,

is it possible to publish Q2A to some project management website like github or googlecode?

It is really hard to do development against a closed community. Personally I wrote a theme and a plugin that can be found on my github:

And I would love contributing, but it kinda pisses me off that I can't see the current development progress :/

I would be interested in contributions to features like point based permissions.

Please vot this up, the project will only win from such a move!!! And don't tell me that the project isn't ready yet for becoming a full open source project (sounds like bullshit if you check most of the poor repos on github/googlecode).
