Editing Mediabistro Git Configuration (section)

== Cloning an existing repo ==

How to start working on an existing repo for the first time. 

* `ssh` to `wmbdev1.iworld.com`
* Navigate to the appropriate directory and create a sandbox.<br />Using '''insidefacebook''' as an example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ cd /www/insidefacebook/git/
</syntaxhighlight>
<strike>$ mkdir dbarchowsky</strike>
<strike>$ cd dbarchowsky</strike>
* Clone the repo. 
:* Find the project on http://git.iworld.com
:* Make a note of its clone property.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ # the argument to "git clone" comes from the project proeperties found on git.iworld.com
$ git clone git@git.iworld.com:insidefacebook.git
</syntaxhighlight>
:* In the case of `insidefacebook` this creates a root directory "insidefacebook" with another "insidefacebook" directory inside of that. It was necessary to install the root "insidefacebook" directory in `/www/insidefacebook/git/` and then rename the root "insidefacebook" directory to "dbarchowsky" to create the sandbox. 
:* Copy a `wp-config.php` file from an existing sandbox.
:* No edits are necessary to the new copy of `wp-config.php`. Optionally edit it to make `WP_DEBUG true`. 
* Create a branch for the new task.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ cd insidefacebook
$ git branch
$ # response should be "* master"
$ git co -b tm[TASK_ID]
$ git branch
$ # response should be " master" followed by "* tm[TASK_ID]"
</syntaxhighlight>
* Tar up the repo.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ tar -czvf insidefacebook.tar.gz insidefacebook
</syntaxhighlight>
* FTP to the server.
* Download the tar file.
* Uncompress the tar file in the local working directory. 
* Create a new PHP project in NetBeans. 
** Set the '''run configuration''' for the project such that the files are uploaded to the sandbox on wbmdev1.iworld.com when they are saved.
** It's not necessary to have the project in a git repo locally. The repo is maintained on the sandbox on wmbdev1.iworld.com.
** After a file is uploaded, at the command line on the wmbdev1.iworld.com server:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ git status -s
$ # the response should include the file that was uploaded
</syntaxhighlight>
