CompostUs/DevTools
What (summary)
Get till working as a development server that we can use as part of our DevelopmentStagingProcess.
Why this is important
We need a place where users can try out new features before they get deployed on the live site. This is important for quality control and better communication between the DevelopmentTeam and their customers.
DoneDone
- This project and the DevelopmentStagingProcess do not apply to "hot fixes" or minor tweaks
- Each task is staged (with its own branch) on the development box before it gets added to the live repository
- Easy branch creation script exists
- Create the branch in the repository on nimbus
- Prep a branch for serving from till
- Has its own database wiki_branch_name that is populated with user accounts and dev content
- To update on till we ssh onto till and run a git pull ... all changes should show up
- Also needs a full dedicated compost running for the branch
- Available from branchname.till within the Portland office
- Instructions for Lahore to set up similar
Branch ... shared repository on nimbus and running instance on till in Portland and Lahore dev machine
