|
| − | Git is the name of a distributed version control system. It plays the role of the CVS or SVN control systems that WeBWorK has used in the past |
||
| − | but the details of how it works are somewhat different. For obtaining up-to-date copies of software there is not much difference between git |
||
| − | and previous VCS. Developers however should read closely since git has a different conceptualization of how version control should be handled. |
||
| − | The difference allows considerably more flexibility for collaborative development. Consolidation no longer depends on a single site or single |
||
| − | administrator. Updates are also more modular and therefore easier to check and repair or remove if they cause trouble. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | Git has many capabilities and can be used in many different ways. This page outlines a subset of git commands and workflows that seems to work |
||
| − | well for WeBWorK. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | '''Github.com''' is a site which facilitates the collaborative development of open source projects. These sites are open (read-only) to the world. |
||
| − | WeBWorK has a master site at https://www.github.com/openwebwork where accepted modifications are being consolidated. The following repositories are |
||
| − | available at that site. |
||
| − | * webwork2 -- the course management face of WeBWorK |
||
| − | * pg -- the macros that help render the PG questions |
||
| − | * NationalProblemLibrary -- collection of questions (not yet implemented -- for now Jason Grout's repository at: |
||
| − | * wwmoodle -- plugins that connect moodle and webwork |
||
| − | * ww_question_server -- another plugin project connecting moodle question types to the WeBWorK webservice |
||
| − | * admintools -- a collection of command line scripts used by larger sites serving WeBWorK |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Contributing to WeBWorK === |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Workflow === |
||
| − | On your local git repository the following workflow seems to minimize clashes with work being done elsewhere. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * clone the remote repo |
||
| − | *git checkout -b my_new_feature |
||
| − | *..work and commit some stuff |
||
| − | *git pull origin master (pull changes from the upstream github repository into your master copy) |
||
| − | *git rebase master (apply updates to your my_new_feature branch so that it looks like it branched from the updated master copy) |
||
| − | *..work and commit some stuff |
||
| − | *git pull origin master |
||
| − | *git rebase master |
||
| − | *..finish the feature |
||
| − | *git checkout master |
||
| − | *git merge my_new_feature |
||
| − | *git push origin master (publish your current changes to your github account) |
||
| − | * Issue pull request to openwebwork |
||
| − | |||
| − | Individual developers for webwork also have their own sites (analogous to the branches in SVN, but more easily accessible) |
