Git Settings

This page lists the general git settings used to maintain this repository. Not everything described here needs to be configured for local development, but it might be useful to at least be aware of the general git work-flow used.

Branches

There are 2 permanent branches used, any other branch would be a feature branch meant to be merged into master once it is finished.

master branch

Where the latest working version of the Ardublockly source code resides.

gh-pages branch

The project pages branch http://carlosperate.github.io/ardublockly/ contains a general project introduction page and an offers online accessibility to the Ardublockly front end web-based part of the application http://carlosperate.github.io/ardublockly/demo/ (that redirects to http://ardublockly.embeddedlog.com/demo/) .

[branch "gh-pages"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/gh-pages

Remotes

blockly

The blockly remote points at the Google's Blockly repository, so that the latest updates can be pulled in.

You can add this remote repository using the following git command:

git remote add -f blockly https://github.com/google/blockly.git

Which should result in the following git configuration entry:

[remote "blockly"]
	url = https://github.com/google/blockly.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/blockly/*

Depreciated SVN upstream

Originally the Blockly repository was hosted in Googlecode using Subversion. It has since moved to Github, so this part of the git configuration is not longer relevant.

[svn-remote "svn"]
	url = http://blockly.googlecode.com/svn/
	fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
	branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/*
	tags = tags/*:refs/remotes/tags/*

Git Subtrees

There is a single subtree in this repository to contain a fork of Google's Blockly. This fork contains additional features, as part of Ardublockly, that need to be maintained.

Once the blockly remote is added, to pull the latest updates the following commands can be used from the project root directory:

git fetch blockly master
git subtree pull --prefix blockly blockly master

Git Submodules

There are two submodules as part of this repository, the Google's Closure library and the Ardublockly GitHub Wiki repository.

To initialise the modules after a git clone the following command should be executed. From the project root directory:

git submodule update --init --recursive
