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:
- 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/
- 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/
- 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 for Integration and Production (fyi: some people refer to production as "stable", but the word stable is used in integration branche names, so I think production is a better term for this remote). I have added "r_" to the front of the remote names so that there is no ambiguity. Without this in some instances git will not be able to tell if we mean the remote "int" or the folder "int". For the production repository we have used the name "moodle.git", instead of describing it's use case like we did for "integration.git". I can't be sure but I imagine this is done for sites like github, where the repository name is how people find your project, so labeling the repository "production.git" would have make it difficult for people to locate the repository in a search. However I suggest while working on it you think of it as the production repository instead of the moodle repository to keep thing consistent and it's purpose clear.
git remote add r_pro git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git
git remote add r_int git://git.moodle.org/integration.git
