I'm brand new to OctoberCMS and almost brand new to Laravel. Still completing the Laracasts courses. I come from an extensive custom development backed in WordPress and was relying on Mergebot to merge databases between a staging site and a production site. I've been trying to understand how Laravel and October CMS deal with merging databases and it's a ghost town. So I'm wondering if there is a different approach and am just trying to get a hint because this is a major problem for us in the WordPress world that I'm hoping to bypass. Can anyone enlighten me to documentation on the subject? Thank you!

A Staging environment also referred to as a staging website or area, is an exact replica of your live site. You can first test changes (and improvements) on the WordPress staging site without disturbing the live site. Whether you use Laravel or WordPress, both would have the same procedure.

Thanks for taking the time to reply @alexmarcxyz38868

Unfortunately this doesn't answer my question though. I'm looking for methods and solutions to merge a staging database with a production database.

For example, if a Post on production is updated. And the exact same Post on staging is updated, but differently.

Essentially a diff tool like FileMerge for Mac but for database / MySQL.
