We prefer to have our document types etc checked into git for our projects. We're used to uSync, works great! With Umbraco Cloud however there are the

.uda

files in action. I don't understand how you work with this locally however. Do you run a local database, and if so do you have to recreate all document/data types another time in a dev environment? Is it a common approach to use uSync in tandem as well? Within Umbraco Cloud?

There shouldn’t be any need for using uSync with Cloud since the

.uda

files are committed to git. When you run the site locally Deploy will setup a local database and restore the

.uda

files. Content and media can then be restored from the Cloud environment through the back office. I suggest reading the docs about how to work locally on https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cloud/set-up/working-locally

Thank you Rasmus!
