Hey Hans,
I've found the easiest way to work with git repos is:
* clone the master repo to disk (git clone) * fork the repo on gitorious or github * hack, commit and push changes to your own fork (git add; git commit -m; git push url-of-my-fork) * issue a pull request to upstream via the gitorious or github website * periodically pull the upstream (git pull)
YMMV, but it means less commands. :)
Chris.

Well, I'm learning. Now that I got the basics down, I thought I'd explore git a bit. And it seems that I have another correction to the command workflow:
- git pull msp master (update to latest code from Miller)
- git checkout -b new_branch (start new branch)
- git commit (commit all changes to the local branch)
- git rebase -i ("rebase" the commits in the branch into clean patches"
- git checkout master (switch to master branch)
- git pull msp master (update to latest code from Miller)
- git checkout new_branch (switch back to new_branch)
- git rebase master (merge changes just pulled into master into new_branch)
- git checkout master (switch back to master)
- git merge new_branch (merge in new_branch into local master)
- git branch -d new_branch (delete branch)
- git push (push changes to your own remote repo)
now make the patch:
- git log -n2 (get the log of the last two commits)
- git format-patch <id of the second to last commit>

Looks like Hans now speaks git much more fluently than I do :)
One minor comment -- I think this can be adapted to avoid requiring > ssh access to sourceforge (so that you don't have to be a pd developer to get into the action) -- just replace ssh://eighthave@pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/... with git://pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/...
The workflow ideas look good to me.

hey all,
I've been diving into git and trying to figure out a workflow to represent how we work. I think its going to be like a smaller >> version of the Linux workflow for now at least. I've set up my git to have its master up on gitorious. Then I can "git pull msp master" to pull from Miller's repo on SourceForge. I did this by adding these to puredata.git/.git/config:
[remote "origin"] url = git@gitorious.org:pdvanilla-hcs/pdvanilla-hcs.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[remote "msp"] url = ssh://eighthave@pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pure-data/pure-data fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master
The other key thing I was reading is about "git rebase", it sounds like the "feature branch" workflow will work best for use. >> Basically, make a local branch for a feature, commit lots, when done, rebase >> into clean patches and merge into local master, then submit patch to Miller. Something like:
- git pull msp (update to latest code from Miller)
- git checkout -b new_branch (start new branch)
- git commit (commit all changes to the local branch)
- git rebase -i ("rebase" the commits in the branch into clean >> patches"
- git checkout master (switch to master branch)
- git pull msp (update to latest code from Miller)
- git checkout new_branch (switch back to new_branch)
- git rebase master (merge in new_branch into local master)
