Normally drupal.org inserts version information when a project is packaged. Git repositories do not contain this information. Git Deploy hooks into the Drupal update system and attempts to provide the version of modules and themes checked out of git.
Git Immersion is a guided tour that walks through the fundamentals of Git, inspired by the premise that to know a thing is to do it.
It often happens that while working on one project, you need to use another project from within it. Perhaps it’s a library that a third party developed or that you’re developing separately and using in multiple parent projects. A common issue arises in these scenarios: you want to be able to treat the two projects as separate yet still be able to use one from within the other.
To collaborate in a distributed development process you’ll need to push code to remotely accessible repositories.
SmartGit is a graphical front-end for the distributed version control system Git and runs on Windows, Mac OSÂ X and Linux.
Question arises: how to upgrade your Drupal installations * timely, * safely, * with confidence that none of your local customizations are lost; * without need to remember each line that was edited and re-applying those edits to new version; * without need to drastically change your workflow (very little discipline is needed actually); We show that Git solves those problems easily.
