Repositories
After logging in with SSH repos are found at
/www/[SITENAME]/git/[USERNAME]/[SITENAME]/
E.g. if my username is dbarchowsky and I need to work on the blogs:
$ cd /www/blogs/git/dbarchowsky/blogs/
Basic workflow for a new task
Update Git repo and create new branch
- Log in with SSH.
- Navigate to the appropriate Git repo (see Repositories)
- Get latest version of code
$ git co master $ git pull $ git co -b tm[TASK_ID]
Make edits with NetBeans IDE
- Create a NetBeans project to download and upload local from the blogs sandbox. (This only needs to be done once.)
- Project URL: [sandbox url] e.g.
http://dbarchowsky.blogs.mediabistro.com/ - Remote Connection:
wmbdev1.iworld.com - See Setting up Remote Connection in NetBeans IDE
- Upload Files: "On Save"
- Project URL: [sandbox url] e.g.
- Before editing files, right click on the file and select 'Download'.
- Edits will be uploaded to the sandbox with each save.
- Preview changes on the sandbox. E.g. http://dbarchowsky.blogs.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/
Checking in edits
$ git status -s $ git add [PATH] $ git commit -m "[task title]" $ git push origin tm[TASK_ID]
- The convention is to copy the task title from the task details and use that for the commit message.
Moving changes to preview (for review)
$ cd /www/[APPLICATION]/git/preview/ $ git fetch $ git merge remotes/origin/tm[TASK_ID]
Now the changes will be visible at http://preview.blogs.mediabistro.com/[BLOG_TITLE]/
