There are several CF folks who are much more experienced with git than I but I don't know if they're on cf-talk these days. Anyway, the basic concept of git is that instead of a single, central repo, everyone has a repo and git allows people to clone from one place to another and merge back so that everyone has the complete history locally and at any point, any given repo can be designated the "master" and patches from other repos merged into it. > However i have my live sites on a remote server hosted (at Alurium) how > should i go about getting the sites onto my local machine and using GIT? then > syncing? You've got a lot of options - fortunately or unfortunately depending on your point of view. You could just maintain local git repos for each site simply by putting an up to date copy of each site on your local machine and then doing git init in each top-level folder. You could also get an account on one of the various service providers that offer git hosting - Assembla is extremely good but there are several others. The docs for the provider will walk you through the steps involved in either creating a remote repo, cloning it locally (empty), adding your code and then committing it back to the provider or importing your local git repo up to the provider. I'd highly recommend paying for a service like that since you then get remote access from any machine - including your live servers if you chose to deploy direct from git - as well as having your source code in a secure location that is backed up regularly. Hope that helps point you in a useful direction... -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
