PostgreSQL database in repository
Usually, you don't store databases in the source control, because each installation/environment of your app is supposed to have it's own data, different from the others. You can and should store SQL scripts to create the structure of your database, such as empty tables, indexes, tables relationships, etc... You can also store scripts that insert the initial data on a newly created database (seed data), such as a default user. If you still want to store the entire database, just find a tool to export it to any text file(s): SQL script, JSON, CSV More on reddit.com

Hi, I’m a beginner at web development so I’m sorry for the dumb question but I recently made a project for a course I’m following that made use of a database I had created in PostgreSQL.
Now, I want to ask, if I want to upload this project on Github, how do I upload the database or the PostgreSQL content I used? What would be the right way of adding a project like that on my Github?

I'll answer the question instead of telling you not to. Despite what some people are saying here this is a legitimate use case. Many repos will include just the schema of their database instead of the schema and all of the database contents. The schema is used to initialize a local database for tests. Either way for postgres you will want to lookup a tool call pg_dump and pg_restore. These come with most installs of postgres. pg_dump can export all of your database to a SQL file that you can include in your repo like any other file. If you want to go just the schema route - pg_dump has a flag for only exporting the schema as a file. On the opposite.side, you will use pg_restore to load your database back into a postgres instance.

Generally the modern approach to doing this these days is to learn to use propel ORM or Doctrine ORM, which will version your database for you and keep the structure in sync as you commit the basic schema (in an xml format) and migrations.

You can use some tool that can generate text representation of db schema into files in some folder under vcs.
To see adequate working tree status you'll need to run schema generation before git status.
Before update from remote (git fetch && git rebase or git pull) you'll need to get db schema into worktree.
If that version differs from latest version in HEAD then you'll need to revert it in db or commit.
After update you'll need to get db schema into worktree again, check out diff and revert it in real db until db schema get will produce clean worktree.
P.S. I'm using this technique for MsSql db schemas in git. I even added db data to repo, this may be useful too.

I would like to maintain two versions of my database, on my local machine and on my server.
Is it possible for me to place the files, including postgres database, in my local machine in a repo and then clone it in my server?
Will it then run in my server?
My plan is to update my database locally because its much faster and is not breaking production, and then push the changes to the server via a git commit / pull request from the server.
Wanted to check if this works with Postgres?

Not sure, but maybe this tool can handle these requirements: https://sqitch.org , you can manage changes on your database structure and deploy them on different environments.
