Job Description:

I just thought I post a little information about a presentation I am going to be giving at the October meetup. At the last meetup, I was asked if I would mind giving a presentation on the use of GitHub in managing Drupal projects. We have pretty much switched all of our development versioning to Git at CollectiveColors.com, because it has shown to have significant benefits in our own development processes.

Git makes it easier for us because:

1. It allows us to better collaboratively develop our software while minimizing the impact of code conflicts.
2. Allows us to easily track what we have developed.
3. Branching and merging of repositories is a breeze.
4. It is very easy to turn any directory tree into a Git repository.
5. Git submodules are perfect for Drupal development.

We have learned a lot of really cool methods for managing software projects using Git and GitHub, so we figured that we would share some of what we have learned in our journey so far. Although, I have a rough outline of what I want to talk about during this presentation, I am open to hearing your suggestions, after all I'm not presenting to myself.

So what I am thinking so far? ...

Hey guys,

I need some help

I have a document root with code I would like subversion manage and apache operate.
Should I create a Group and Add www-data and SVN username into new Group? How should this be accomplished?

Best Regards,
Jorge.

Hey all,
I've finally gotten to the point of moving my site into the "real world" and off of my desktop running XAMPP. I'm trying to do things proper and I've set up a SVN server at Beanstalk (www.beanstalkapp.com/). So, at this point I'm trying to figure out how to best manage the site and the repository. I'm a SVN newbie, so I'm struggling with how I should go about adding my site files to the repository. I'm using Tortoise SVN for windows. So, should I make a new repository and add the whole Drupal installing into that folder? Or, should I create a repository inside the drupal folder and add the /sites/.. folder into the repository?
I ultimately want to be to be able to have the main live site get committed to the repository every day, then get copied to a test site. I'm just not sure how to best get things initially set up.

Hey there fellow Drupaleros,

I'm seeking peer review of my video about my CVS/SVN workflow regarding deployment for a multisite setup. I'd learned about vendor branching and svn:externals a few months ago and finally got around to setting up a system I was happy with.

What I'm wondering is if I could do anything better or how other people are doing similar things, but slightly different.

All feedback is welcome, leave comments on the site or email me via gdo.

I'm just wrestling with setting up subversion for the first time (slightly ashamed to admit to having put it off for so long) and thought this would be an interesting topic for a community skillshare afternoon one weekend, or perhaps an upcoming meetup.

Does anyone have any interest in either learning about this, or sharing their knowledge?

Great meeting today!

Thanks for those who attended. I have attached a PDF version of my presentation at http://ucit01.uncc.edu/node/308

as the maintainer of the project module, i got private email from a user named "halkeye" about this topic. instead of continuing the discussion on email, i wanted to post my reply here, since i think other members of this group might be interested in this.
