23,119 PointsHow to deploy databases for WordPress - final stage!
Okay, I've made my site, I've used Git Tower to create versions of my site along the way and this has consistently backed up my PHP files and any tweaks to css and html.
Im ready to launch and Im using something like MAMP to locally edit my WordPress site.
I understand how to deploy absolutely everything except the databases - unless I manually got to PHP my admin and 'export' and then 'import'.
Is there a way to make this easier?
Many thanks.

Within the lesson "Migrating from local to staging" they mention a tool and include it in the show notes for WordMove which is a deployment tool that will deploy both your files and your database from one server to another. That might be something to consider to help you automate the process. See: https://github.com/welaika/wordmove
