>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #1136780. --> Reported by: [rfay](https://www.drupal.org/user/30906) >>> <p>These are responses to logickal's work on the Site Builder's Guide (<a href="http://drupal.org/node/803746#code">http://drupal.org/node/803746#code</a>)</p> <p>1. I would drop the rebase and stash sections. Those are basic git *skills* and not about sitebuilding. References to them might be OK. Probably don't need to go into annotated tags, for the same reason. And you've wisely stayed away from submodules. I think you can point to other workflows, but keep this one simple.</p> <p>2. The .gitignore has made it into core (8.x) and will probably soon be in 7.x, so you may want to talk about how to modify it rather than how to make one. <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-17"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/917492" title="Status: Closed (outdated)">#917492: Add a sensible .gitignore file</a></span> landed in D8 today.</p> <p>3. One thing to consider that's even easier, and only a slight modification: Don't even maintain a Drupal.org remote. Just have your project remote and use drush (without any git management) to update it. The same thing that you're doing with modules.</p> <p>4. Along those lines, it might be nice to have a quick introduction to explain what you're trying to accomplish. Here we're just keeping the *project* under git control, and not really trying to integrate it with the development of Drupal or contrib. </p> <p>Nits: I think links to the various technologies mentioned might help people. Gitosis, etc. You're probably glossing over something that people think is black magic: Setting up an authoritative repository. Maybe some links to how to do that are in order (or how to use github). </p> <p>I think it's totally legitimate to use github as a repo for most sites, BTW. You might want to use that as an example instead of a local filesystem-based example. I *don't* think you should teach how to set up gitosis, but pointing them to resources on how to do these things would probably be good.</p> <p>Overall, I think this is a quite excellent page. Let's make sure to keep it simple and not let it get out of hand :-)</p> <p>Thanks for the great work!</p>
