User:Gerard Caulfield/Fast Moodle git setup

This setup allows you to have multiple working directories while having them all linked and using the same repository which I believe is perfect for Moodle development where you sometimes want to view several versions of moodle at the same time but managing all those instances seperatly is an unnecessary hassle.

First create all the necessary directories:

1. Data directories

mkdir -p ~/data/moodle/int/m/ ~/data/moodle/int/22/ ~/data/moodle/int/21/ ~/data/moodle/int/20/ ~/data/moodle/int/19/ \ ~/data/moodle/pro/m/ ~/data/moodle/pro/22/ ~/data/moodle/pro/21/ ~/data/moodle/pro/20/ ~/data/moodle/pro/19/

1. Code directories

mkdir -p ~/src/moodle/int/m/ ~/src/moodle/int/22/ ~/src/moodle/int/21/ ~/src/moodle/int/20/ ~/src/moodle/int/19/ \ ~/src/moodle/pro/m/ ~/src/moodle/pro/22/ ~/src/moodle/pro/21/ ~/src/moodle/pro/20/ ~/src/moodle/pro/19/

1. The seed directory

mkdir ~/src/moodle/.seed/

Create a symbolic link in your web root so you can access all of these directories via http://localhost/moodle/ (or whatever location you prefer) sudo ln -s ~/src/moodle /var/www/moodle

Create the .seed repository for all the other working directories: cd ~/src/moodle/.seed/ git init Turn on colorisation and ignore file permission changes git config core.ui auto git config core.filemode false Set yourself as the default author of commits to the repository (you will need to replace the name and email used in the following two example commands) git config --global user.name 'John Doe' git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com Add Moodle remotes git remote add r_pro git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git git remote add r_int git://git.moodle.org/integration.git
