GIMP & git - example workflows from some of our longer-term git users?

Hi,

as you may have noticed (or will notice soon, at least when svn does become more and more outdated), GNOME is moving its source code repository from SVN to GIT.

GIT should be available on all major platforms - via the package managers of most Linux distributions, and installers for Mac OS X (http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/) and Microsoft Windows (http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/)

However, most people will be inexperienced with using git, especially if they try to follow the "best practice" of a distributed revision control system - having 'git pull' tell you that it doesn't know what to pull from isn't that reassuring, at least.

So we need an example workflow from someone who is already comfortable with git. A description that starts right at the first 'git clone' and includes the creation of a local branch(?), and the committing changes for others to see.

This will be interesting especially for Summer of Code, as we usually want to have students their own branches, but preferably not local ones.

Regards, Michael

Hi

Yes, GNOME has moved to git. This includes in particular babl, GEGL and GIMP.

I don't think there is a need to reiterate a how-to on this mailing list for how to work with git. It should be quite enough to read: http://live.gnome.org/Git/Developers

and other git resources on the web. GIMP will not have a super-special workflow with regards to git. In fact, there is no workflow set in stone yet, we will have to experiment to wee what works and what doesn't.

(This is also a reply to David)

Just a caveat since this isn't mentioned on the web page: Rebasing changes on a branch modifies history, so don't rebase changes that are publicly visible. Use rebasing only for your private changes which you haven't pushed yet.

See, it's things like that that I would like to see mentioned more frequently and accompanied by the actual git commands (if possible).

So where do you want it documented, I'll gladly write this up (with actual commands).

Let's keep it all in one place: http://live.gnome.org/Git and subpages are where this kind of stuff belongs.

Cheers, Ruben

Okay, let's hope I can get something done until mid next week, I'll be on vacation from then on for 3 weeks and will likely have low to no net access.
