How to move databases or other files between dev machines?
I have a main desktop for my work, and sometimes I use laptop too.
but sometimes it is hard to copy my dev database to laptop and also .env filㄷ.
How do you guys handle this?

I’m on my laptop 100% of the time. I use full screen apps (MacOS) on a 13" screen. I love how they fill in all the space. I don’t use external monitors, so I’m fully mobile and I don’t have to tweak my setup if I move to a different room or place. Extra screen is useful when doing web apps, but I don’t mind the lack of it that much.

I think he’s rather asking how to share the database between his desktop computer and his laptop. Title is misleading

Well, my solution is to not have that problem altoghether.
At one job everybody was getting a workstation and a laptop. For most of the people it was a waste, since people didn’t bother to set up a replica of the dev environment and mostly used the laptop to run presentations. Which was a shame, since the laptops were pretty beefy.

I have a desktop and a laptop too. I am on my laptop 100% of the time but I always ssh into my desktop for everything except the browser. Basically, I use my desktop as a beefy VPS.
