This tutorial will explain how to connect your local development environment to connect to the centralized "test" database that is hosted on AWS Relation Database Service (RDS).

This means that you will no longer need to download database upgrades and manually import them to your local MySQL database. However, if there are database upgrades that also require you to have new backend code, your game may break unless you merge the new backend code into your working tree.

To get started, open Git bash in the stariumxcv.dev folder and run the following commands:

git status # check to make sure the working tree is clean

git checkout master # switch to the master branch

git pull origin master # integrate the most recent code changes

If all of these commands run succesfully, procede to the next page where you will add the authentication credentials for the remote database to your local environment.
