Just check some how to use git

22

i mean for commits to the git repo and strapi export

23

or with git commit i dont need strapi export?

24

i feel my database goes out of order all the time i must be doing something wrong but i havent found a way to make a proper backup, whenever something breaks im just down to zero

25

Well depends on your database

26

or no i switched to mysql now

27

Then you can use pg_dump pg_restore

28

ok so i need to stop my container then dump the database

29

and do git commmit for src dir

30

Basically your source code (files under src/)

31

and strapi export?

32

Contains schemas that then trigger migration of database

33

will it overwrite database, sorry for all the questions

34

E.g. the tables and the attributes on those tables will be synced to stuff you have under /src (mostly schemas)

35

So if you change something in in schema you can expect something going to be removed or added

36

oh thats great so it removes entries from database itself then

37

If it’s added likely it’s going to be null by default

38

if it doesnt find mathcing stuff in the /src files anymore

39

so the strapi import/export isnt that usefull then seeing its all about the files really

40

Well that’s another kind of problem
