How do I pull from the live site without overwriting the newest local changes?

How do I pull from the live site without overwriting the newest local changes? I understand Kinsta has added the option to push only the files or only the database, but that doesn’t really resolve my particular issue. I am making changes to a local staging site to be rolled out at a later date. That includes changes to both the database and the files. What is the best way to make sure only the latest and greatest gets pushed when that time comes?

Hi @SJC, welcome to DevKinsta!

So our site-syncing is basic, as you mentioned. If your workflow requires more advanced features then you’ll likely have to look into WordPress plugins like this one https://wpsynchro.com/ or look into creating your own Git workflow.

Basically DevKinsta doesn’t track the changes made on local vs the remote site and so won’t be able to make selective pushes.
