hell169578yNice little trick we do at work : use a host name as db host and put an entry on it on your hosts file 👌
Than you don't have to keep changing it on the code, only on the machine you are running it.
If that's the case... Kick Andrew on the forehead... -
Staging servers are for wusses. Get Andrew onto that production server and keep those updates coming!!

@Charmgoggles
Tried that,
It comes off as, 'control freak' to not let anyone else pull or upload.
Cronjob git commit every day, and let the admin sort it out. -
Arlekin8958yI don't want to sound too condescending, but HOW any serious dev can work without VCS ??
Its not "best practice" that takes some time but its helpful - like testing - for me vcs kinda stands in the same place as syntax highlighting - its just something you need to work.
I read that author of dwarf fortress doesn't, but he kinda works only on it alone the whole time and given tremendous work he's done it makes it rather cute. But in "real world"...
