Working with Team & Deploying
I am working on a team project using Convex and have a question regarding collaboration and syncing changes across team members' cloud development environments.
Scenario:
We have two developers: George and Alex.
Both are using separate Convex cloud development environments and have .env.local automatically configured via npx convex dev in their respective Next.js projects.
Each developer makes changes in their own development environment and tests locally.
Once satisfied, Alex deployed the changes to production using npx convex deploy.
Question:
Now, George wants to get the latest Convex function changes (deployed by Alex) into his own Convex cloud development environment. Is there a supported way to:
Pull Convex backend function changes from the production deployment (or another teammate’s deployment)?
Or alternatively, sync a local Convex project with what’s currently deployed in production?

Thank you!
hi! collaboration on shared functions is done at the code level--i.e., using GitHub
if George pulls from main, presumably they will get Alex's changes in most development workflows, since you typically push to github, run CI on a preview deployment from the Github branch, and merge main, possibly deploying to prod once the code is on main
ergo in this scenario George will always get the lastest and greatest production codebase every time they pull
main from GitHub
