Hi there! I'm happy to help. Can you give me a brief on what you're trying to do? Are you looking for the best way to organize the development process on multiple PCs?

Previously, I used a local server named Denver, but it gets tiresome to transfer projects from it. Moreover, deploying a local server at home is not convenient. If you give the project to other developers, it may become unclear.

There are two possible ways to approach this. First, you could abandon the local server and find an alternative that allows you to edit files directly. Second, you could use git to manage your projects. In the case of a WordPress project, you could have git on the server and download it on your PCs, or use Github to upload all projects to it. However, organizing the database with migration can be challenging.

It's always good to seek advice from experienced mentors. Have you considered reading up on best practices online? There are many resources available that can help you streamline your development process across multiple PCs.

To get started on your project, register on either GitHub or Bitbucket. Once registered, create a new empty project. On your local machine, create a folder for the project and begin working on it. For example, you can install WordPress.

Once you're ready to collaborate with others, create a local repository by installing the Git utility. After installing it, fill in the local repository on the Git server. Then, connect users who should have access to the project on the Git repository site.

This way, everyone can make a local copy of the repository and upload changes to the server whenever something changes. This process makes collaboration more efficient and productive.

I face a solitary scenario, which I tackle in the following manner: Firstly, I initiate project deployment through phpstorm for any minor changes. Secondly, I create a git repository and transfer all files utilizing bitbucket/gitlab. During this process, I refrain from modifying the database unless necessary.
However, files are consistently updated through git. As a result, after sending files to the server, it only takes half a second to update the browser page, making for an efficient and satisfactory experience.

Incorporate DevOps/CI/CD strategies and tools to your workflow. The essence of DevOps lies in seamless collaboration between development, startup, and operational phases, without any clear distinction between them during project implementation.

To effectively implement this approach, a wide array of tools and methodologies have been developed and tested. These aim to optimize the overall efficiency of software development life cycle and streamline application deployment.

DevOps also emphasizes the importance of continuous integration and continuous delivery, ensuring that new features and updates are pushed out to users in a timely and reliable manner. The use of automation and agile practices further enhances the speed and quality of software delivery.

In your situation, transitioning away from a local server like Denver to a more distributed and collaborative approach is a logical step. One effective solution is to adopt Git as a version control system. Git allows for efficient tracking of changes, collaboration with multiple developers, and the establishment of a centralized code repository. By leveraging Git, you can ensure that all team members have access to the latest codebase and history, facilitating a cohesive and unified development process.

For WordPress projects, integrating Git with a robust deployment workflow can significantly enhance the overall development process. Platforms such as GitHub and Bitbucket provide an excellent foundation for hosting remote repositories, enabling seamless access to the most up-to-date code from any PC. This centralized approach not only fosters collaboration but also simplifies the management of project versions and history.

To address the complexities of managing the database across different environments, the incorporation of database migration tools is crucial. Tools like Flyway and Liquibase can automate database schema changes, ensuring consistency and reliability across various development and production environments. By implementing database migration as part of your deployment workflow, you can minimize inconsistencies and errors related to database structure and content.

Furthermore, exploring best practices for remote development and collaborative workflows is essential for refining your approach. Online resources offer a wealth of information on effective strategies, tools, and methodologies for optimizing development processes across multiple PCs. Engaging with experienced mentors and industry peers can provide valuable insights and guidance to further refine your development strategies.
Through the implementation of a robust version control system like Git, integration with deployment workflows, and the utilization of database migration tools, you can create a highly efficient and collaborative development process that facilitates seamless collaboration across multiple PCs, ultimately enhancing the overall productivity and success of your projects.
