Cloning Moodle to your local installation

• See Git for Administrators, the following screenshots illustrate the steps described there.

Cloning to a new folder

Moodle branches

Checkout

Deleting master branch

Don't know whether this is a good idea but I accidentally messed up my local Moodle 1.9 master branch by fetching Moodle 2.1 on top of it ...

That's the result:

Updating your Moodle installation

git fetch

Maintaining your own contributed code

Setting up a remote repository on GitHub

See the instructions at:

• Dev:Git for developers
• Git repositories for contrib modules

Cloning the remote GitHub repository to your local Moodle installation

1. Change to the parent folder for your plug-in
2. Clone the repository: git clone https://nakohdo@GitHub.com/nakohdo/moodle-filter_autolinkhijacker.git
3. Rename the folder to your plug-in's name
4. Open Git Bash in that folder

Creating a local branch

1. Open Git Bash in the plug-in folder
2. Create new branch: git branch MOODLE_19_STABLE
3. Change to the new branch: git checkout MOODLE_19_STABLE
   • Both steps in one: git checkout -b MOODLE_19_STABLE

Creating a remote branch

Note: It might be better using "remote" first to create the remote branch. And usually it's best if both branches have the same name. --Frank Ralf 12:59, 18 July 2011 (WST)

1. Change to the correct local branch
2. git push origin -u MOODLE_19_STABLE

   Using different names for local and remote branch: $ git push origin local_19_STABLE:MOODLE_19_STABLE

Deleting a remote branch

$ git push origin :testbranch
