Here's a tip that is making its way into the rewritten CG: don't leave your lilypond repository as "master" or "staging".
To see the branch, add this: export PS1="\u@\h \w\$(__git_ps1)$ " to your ~/.bashrc (or just type it once to see what happens) The general idea is that you should always see something like iamawesome@mycastle ~/lilypond (doc-beaming)$ or iamawesome@mycastle ~/lilypond (clang-warnings)$ or iamawesome@mycastle ~/lilypond (scheme-2.0)$ or, if you're really not comfortable, iamawesome@mycastle ~/lilypond (working)$ if you don't understand what I'm talking about, wait a week. But the __git_ps1 trick is so cool that I couldn't resist sending it along right now, so that people "in the know" can start playing with it immediately. (I'm now working on a bash function that adds color to the __git_ps1, so that master and staging are colored in red, to remind myself to be careful when I'm on those branches) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
