Development Guidelines Current development on FRAT is done using git. The repository is currently hosted at: https://gitorious.org/frat/frat Development Environment To gain write access to the repository, contact one of the administrators. Once gained, follow the steps in the Installation Guide except use the read/write address to clone the repository git clone git@gitorious.org:frat/frat.git Workflow Due to the small developer community, we follow a simple branchy workflow in git. The core workflow is: To work on a new topic, create a branch off of master git checkout master git checkout -b MY_TOPIC Work on the topic, making commits as necessary <edit files> git commit -a <Add descriptive commit message> Once the topic is complete, merge to master. NOTE: Please use "--no-ff" to force a merge commit. This keeps the master branch consistent as a series of topics being merged. git checkout master git merge --no-ff --log MY_TOPIC Update the upstream repository git push NOTE: For minor bug fixes, commits directly onto master are ok. In this case, make sure that the commit message reads something like: BUG: brief bug description This is a full description of the bug and what I did to fix it.
