Anastasia, Cloning is the current method since we don't want the developer to work directly from the Repo #2. Since they're doing their own customizations, it shouldn't be a fork either. The basic workflow is:
1. Clone the starting content (Repo #2) 2. Use node to grab the helpers and dependencies (Repo #1, and other stuff in the package.json file) 3. Customize by overriding, editing, etc. 4. Commit changes to a new repository for their project I have a more detailed procedure documented in the README here: https://github.com/jhung/doc-base-start/blob/FLUID-5692/README.md Ideally we would probably want to use a Skeleton for Docpad (which basically does a copy of all the needed files), but we don't have time to investigate how we would do this properly. Looking at the words I'm using to describe these repositories, maybe: - "documentation-skeleton" and "documentation-helpers" - "fluid-documentation-core" and "fluid-documentation-helpers" (fluid being the maintainers of the project) Thoughts? - Jon.
