Possibly newbie question.
I made an app (Postgres, Node, React) and I want to send it to somebody who can try it out with this little db that I made for it. Is there a way to do that? Googling has brought up a few seemingly positive results but none of them I've been able to apply to my application. Is there a resource I can look into (OS, VS environment)?
Like crimson589's comment you can create a db dump with all the sql used to create the database
pg_dump dbname > outfile
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/backup-dump.html
commit outfile to git or other version control
If you want to use github, create a repo via the web and it tells you how to add your code to the repo.

I have a Discord bot deployed on Heroku. The deployment method is via GitHub update. I was using Node.js and Discord.js library.
When we need to add some new commands ad hoc, I need to add:
some data at Firebase Real-Time Database
command inside command/name_of_command.js
update the bot (via git push to GitHub repository)
run deploy-commands.js script so the commands are updated
This is all fast, but I wish for total independence of:
code and data
me and the users
I wish that users can add in a very easy way, new commands, and that's it. What troubles me is:
even if users can update the commands, (or update the database), someone still needs to run deploy-commands.js
if the commands can be added to the bot dynamically, either from db or from some config file, still someone would need to call some script file each time, right?
Tell me your opinion, on what would be the easiest way for users to keep adding commands without me.
I want to automate my RDB. I usually use SQLDeveloper to compile, execute and save my PL SQL scripts to the database. Now I wish to build and deploy the scripts directly through gitlab, using ci/cd pipeline. I am supposed to use Oracle Cloud for this purpose. I don't know how to achieve this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Requirements: Build and deploy PL-SQL scripts to the database using gitlab, where the password and username for the database connection are picked from vault on the cloud, not hardcoded. Oracle cloud should be used for the said purpose.
If anyone knows how to achieve this, please guide.
There are tools like Liquibase and Flyway. Those tools do no do miracles.
Liquibase has a list of changes (XML or YAML) to be applied on a database schema (eventually with undo step).
Then it has a journal table in each database environment, so i can track which changes were applied and which were not.
It can not do mighty schema comparisons like SQL Developer or Toad does.
It also can not prevent situations where applied DML change on prod database goes kaboom, because the DML change was just successfully tested on 1000x smaller data set.
But yet it is better than nothing and it can be integrated with ansible/gitlab and other CI/DC tools.
You have a functional sample, using Liquibase integration with sqlcl in my project Oracle CI/CD demo.
To be totally honest
It's a little out-of-date, because I use a trick for rollback because in the moment of writting, Liquibase tagging was not supported. Currently it's supported
The final integration with Jenkins is not done, but it's obvious
I've been using git for a little while now in a new project I am working on.
I decided to use GitLab.com as I would like the opportunity to keep me repos private until I'm ready to share them (which github doesn't allow me to do).
The whole beauty of git for me is that I have a copy of the whole repo on my local machine and on the remote site.
However I make lots of comments, on my 'local' gitlab instance.
I know that I can put the wiki into source control, is it possibly to do the same thing with the comments and milestones (or in some other way share them between repositories)
I feel that this should be possible.
Maybe using an rss feed to push and pull the data to / from the various locations.
Or can I use the issues as a 'mailing list' somehow, with a 'mail into list' (however I would then need to get my local gitlab instance to mail any new issues to the remote - could probably be setup using some form of 'auto forward' filter in my mail client / gmail.
Are any of these ideas even possible ?
Is there a better solution - I'd prefer something that will integrate into my gitlab instance (local and remote), rather than needing having to use a separate interface ~ I like everything to be in a single place if possible.
Remember also I like to have access to my issues etc when offline (and then have them 'sync' when I go back online).
Thanks for any help in advance.

You could build a script and make use of the API to sync your issues and notes. Maybe a script that pulls all of the new issues and notes and POSTs them to the equivalent projects on GitLab.com. You could run the script manually or create a cron job to post the new items periodically.
I have a NodeJS server which is generating a server-side JS code into a separate folder on the server and then serves it to the user as a .zip file. I would like to be able to take this code and push it to a GitHub repository the user would specify (or even better- create a new brunch and push it to the branch). I was checking GitHub API but I could not find an endpoint, which would describe this situation. I also checked one node module, but the same story- no information about if this is possible (and how) or not.
My question is- Is it possible to take a folder on a server and push it to a GitHub repo (if all the credentials and keys are known) programatically and if so, can anyone please direct me to some resources? I tried to find something but nothing was relevant.
Thank you,
T.
I've just found these two libraries, that can help you to push your files to git from Node.js:
git-js is a lightweight wrapper around installed git binary
nodegit is a standalone Git client implementation in Node.js
Just use the provided API programmatically to commit and push files. You could create a separate branch if you want and tag your commits.
just install git bash and do it through that. I don't use anything but the terminal to do my git repos. good luck.
I a writing a little webapp, which allows the users to browse through a Visual SVN server. I would like to add an online editor like github in this webapp, so users can edit the files online, leave a message and the changes appear in the repository.
For that I need to checkout the files locally. My idea was to check them in a mongodb out, so I can save the changes per user like a local working copy.
Is there a way (without reimplementing the svn protocol) to make a checkout in a database or even just the memory and then write it in the database.
If there are any questions, just ask :)
Btw. if someone is interested, here is the code https://bitbucket.org/Knerd/svn-browser
There is no way to do svn checkout to directly to database. But there is some options.
First of all, you can simple create virtual disk that resides in memory and perform checkouts to that disk. Than you can store checked out files to database.
Another option is to use rich Subversion API directly. Note, that Subversion is written in C, so you will need to build bridge between Node.js and SVN (as far as I can remember, there is no official Subversion bindings for Node.js, but there is for Python and Java and there is unofficial nodesvn package available for Node.js). Using the API you can implement your own 'in-database' working copy.
Also you can use svnmucc utility (which is shipped with VisualSVN Server) to make commits directly in the repository (without even making a working copy). If you combine it with svn ls, svn info etc. you can implement repository browsing and editing of files.
