Github version control processes and processmaker files#825398

Hi,

I'm quite new to github and I really like the idea of document controlling the processes in ProcessMaker. Would it be advisable to have the whole processmaker directory synced to the github repository so that each changes are tracked?

ProcessMaker stores a few process files under the shared/sites/{workspace} directory, such as your template files any files that you upload to Public Files, but most of the process definition is stored in the MySQL database in tables such as PROCESS, TASK, etc.

I see two options. You can create a Linux cron job or Windows Scheduled Task that creates periodic backups with the processmaker workspace-backup command.

The other option is to create a script that is executed periodically as a Linux cron job or a Windows Scheduled Task, that uses REST to create backup copies. You can call GET /api/1.0/{workspace}/project to check the "prj_update_date" for each process. If a process has changed, then call GET /api/1.0/{workspace}/project/{prj_uid}/export to export the process as .pmx file and upload it to Github.
