Hi,

Just wondering how other developers are managing source control using GitHub?

I currently have GitHub desktop installed and have been pushing up to the repostitory on a manual basis.

Thanks for any suggestions in advanced!

Edward,

here is an old article that explains how to use SVN to host PHPRunner projects:
https://xlinesoft.com/blog/2011/06/08/best-practices-multiple-developers-working-on-the-same-project/
We use it for multiple client projects and it works but not ideal.

The main issue is that PHPRunner project is not a code that is human readable. It is a project file with a bunch of settings and in the case of a conflict there is no way to resolve this conflict manually. So GitHub/SVN integration is mostlly for backups, not for a real collaborattion.

We are trying to solve this in version 11 where we switch project storage to a SQL-based database and adding multi-user functionality letting multiple developers work on the same project at the same time and get realtime updates.
