[git-users] Re: Using Git in a web development environment (specifically with Coda 2 and a web server)
I'm still a bit overwhelmed with the Git documentation. And the tutorials about using Git with a web server are a bit confusing. Can anyone help me out by explaining the basic steps of getting Git to work with my web server? I'd need to install it onto the server, is that correct? And then tell my local Git that a repo exists on the server? I'm not really sure what to do here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

Thanks for the reply. I'm taking a look at Capistrano. It does seem a bit overkill, but I'll still look into it. Could you give me an example of what I'd be able to do with it in a web development scenario? Basically it's just me, there aren't any other dev team members as I'm doing this freelance. At least for now, anyway. I'm thinking perhaps to just connect Coda directly to my testing server, and then using GitHub to push launch-ready commits to the live server. I'd be making the root web directory a Git repo right?

Re: [git-users] Using Git in a web development environment (specifically with Coda 2 and a web server)
Thanks for the reply. I'll give that a read, looks like some good information there. Can you tell me if this would be a correct description? Locally, I've got my dev folder. On the server, I set up a git repository in the folder that contains test.domain.com, as well as another repository in the folder that contains the domain.com files. This means I'll have 3 repos. I can push commits to the test repo, then when I'm happy with it, I can push them to the live site? Since Coda allows just one server to be defined (I do hope they change that...) then perhaps I should connect it to the test domain, and then use the GitHub app to push the files to the main domain when they're good to go? I figure the files always come from my local, and they don't travel from the test domain to the live domain when ready.

[git-users] Using Git in a web development environment (specifically with Coda 2 and a web server)
Hi all, I just purchased Coda 2 yesterday, and I installed Git for version control. I also installed the GitHub GUI for Git. I've never used a version control mechanism and I've always done it manually. But I want to learn how to properly set up Git for a web dev environment. I've searched around and read some documentation and tutorials, but it doesn't seem like I've found my answers. Also, everything I found was a bit overwhelming! Coda 2 can see Git just fine and the version control features are now active. But how do I use it with my web server? Do I need to install Git onto the server? Coda can track changes locally, but I don't know if it's working remotely. I don't know if Coda can compare the local files to the server files. Furthermore, and perhaps this is more of a Coda issue, I would like to know if it's possible to have a setup where I have a testing server (eg: test.domain.com) and a live server (domain.com). I preview and develop the website on the test subdomain, and then push it to the main domain when it's ready to go. Is this something that Git can help me with? Coda only allows you to define one server. That's one thing I miss from Dreamweaver, the ability to define multiple servers for testing and live deployment. If you need more info please don't hesitate to ask. Any help would be totally appreciated.
