On DevKinsta I see the “Sync” button. But I didn’t find a detailed explanation about how to use it and what the implications are.
If I choose to sync “Files”, what files does it mean?
I need to be able to develop locally (update the theme and plugins, test it all out) and then push my changes. But I don’t want to push test files like media uploads.
Ideally, I need to be able to push only Core, Plugin and Theme files.
Is there some sort of config file where I can set what files are going to be synced or not (like a .gitignore)?
Also, is there any post-deployment scripts I can run on Kinsta, like webpack compilation, or does it need to happen locally before syncing final files?
When pushing a local site from DevKinsta to Kinsta (staging), you can selectively choose which specific files or folders to transfer. Under the Sync (Push to Kinsta) Settings, you’ll find the option to check the items you want to push from DevKinsta to Kinsta. In the sample screenshot below, you can see that I selected only the readme.html file and the wp-admin folder directory to be pushed to the Kinsta server.
