Especially in the recent hot weather this is becoming uncomfortable.</p> <p>Ideally I'd like a machine at work and at home, but syncing our CMS builds between machines each day is time consuming and not reliable.</p> <p>We of course use Git for all files and luckily the CMS we build in (CraftCMS) uses config files that are pretty Git friendly these days.</p> <p>CMS Uploads go to AWS S3 buckets so I don't need to worry about syncing those, the issue lies with syncing the DB. Any text or asset fields need to be synced between machines so I can continue work each day.</p> <p>I suppose I could manually take a DB backup at the end of each day and commit it to git so its ready for the next day, but this isn't full proof and if I forget one day, the next day I need to redo a load of work to get back to where I was.</p> <p>Does anyone else have this issue and any potential solutions? </p> discuss help cms tooling
