[Vtigercrm-developers] vTiger Development using GIT

We are starting to use GIT to manage our vTiger deployments and
customisations, and have quickly realised that a large part of the process
involves trying to control changes to the database (e.g. adding fields,
workflows etc) that we need to be able to easily merge/migrate from
development to live deployments.

Has anyone successfully been using GIT and also working with managing
database changes as well?

The best suggestion I've seen so far is to create an automated script that
creates a database dump prior to performing a GIT commit, which exports the
necessary tables. (Not sure what the necessary tables are, Im thinking it
would be easier to define which tables NOT to export)
This would then need to be merged with any existing database.

​Interested to see if anyone else has a solution, or another way round the
problem.​
