Collaboration on wordpress site git. How to share database? [closed]

Question

I have started work on a wordpress site with a colleague. We are both developing the website on our local machines and have our separate databases. We share our work through Git. Now the problem is that I found out that wordpress uses the database to store some configurations regarding themes and plugins.

How can we share our database to have the same version all the time?

Answer 1

Just set up a database on a server that runs MySQL and allows access for both of you. Then you should change these lines in wp-config.php:

define('DB_NAME', 'remote database name');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'remote user name');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'remote password');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'remote server address');
