Drupal And Git

Very soon, Drupal will bid a fond (ha!) farewell to CVS, and git will step up to the collective plate. In this session, I'll run through what differences you can expect to see on launch day, what changes are further down the road, and talk a bit about how I think git might change Drupal's community workflows right away.

I might get into basic git instructions, but don't count on it :)

In the book Leveraging Drupal Victor Kane proposes using Subversion for version control and Trac as tracking system, since both are compatible and work fine together.

Now that Drupal will adopt Git for version control, does anyone know if Trac is compatible with Git? And anyway, does anyone know a good tracking system compatible with Git?

Thanks and regards.

For heather's birthday, let's Git it together! Wednesday evening.

The theme is Git, and we will attempt to conduct our humble café in the world-renowned Drupal Dojo style. J.P. Licks is not the best location for trying to put anything on a screen (like a dojo video), but we can gather around our laptops. We always manage to secure a good two-to-four tables for our mob.

Greetings,

Our lab will likely be using Mercurial for internal work in the future. As we most likely don't want to require our researchers to learn both Mercurial and Git, we were considering using the Hg-Git plugin to interact with the Drupal repositories. For those who don't know, Hg-Git is a Mercurial plugin that allows a person to push and pull from Git repositories.

Does this group have an opinion of this plugin, specifically with regard to the Drupal repositories? Is it discouraged or encouraged in any way?

Thank you,
OPL

Please note that there is one page on drupal.org with the same propose: Other Git resources, so maybe is a better idea to update that page. (no comments enabled, so I needed to do this at edit)

This page is a collection of information to help Drupalers use Git.

Using Git with Subversion

For those who are still stuck with Subversion but would like to be using Git, I wrote an article recently about using git-svn.

Joshua Jabbour gave a great session on using the Git distributed version control system at Drupal Camp NYC 8. I was able to come home, download the source for Git, and easily build it on my laptop. I'd just started a new drupal project, and hadn't moved it into svn yet, so I easily created a git repostitory for the project. In fact, it was so easy I really wanted to move all my projects into git and chuck svn.

We're pleased to announce Git with Drupal 7, a one-day LA Drupal event featuring both a git bootcamp followed by a Drupal 7 code sprint. Git with D7 is being sponsored by Exaltation of Larks, Ninjitsu Web, This by Them, WebEnabled and Acquia.

Attendance is limited to 30 people (but we only have about 15 chairs, so please bring one if you can). RSVPs are required so be sure to reserve your spot by clicking the Sign up button below. Anyone who wants to attend the code sprint but not the prerequisite git bootcamp must contact the organizers in advance.

Join us online for the Git bootcamp!

To make this event as accessible as possible, we're broadcasting the bootcamp via WebEx conference at https://acquiawebinars.webex.com. Please see the official announcement on Drupal.org for more details.

During both the bootcamp and code sprint, we'll be gathered in the #drupal-la IRC channel and and all are welcome to join us. We also recorded the git bootcamp and posted the video online on blip.tv and on iTunes.
