Re: gitignore for projects

you can do private repos on github for free. there are other servies that do free private repos. i'm pretty sure gitlab does free private repos, too. if you're a google apps user you can use google cloud project repos. those are no extra charge. paying for a git service gets to be sticky

Well GitHub is free, and there is GitHub Desktop app, which is also free. Caveat is that it is public. Now if you need privacy, then Microsoft Azure is also free > On May 25, 2020, at 06:00, Paul Dennis via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > For those getting started with Git.

I had a file mode (permissions) surprise with one of our projects. It's a project that is bring brought forward from 2k4->17->18 project So for those of you that run into this, you can do ``` git config core.fileMode false ``` Right now the *.gitignore* I'm using is thus: ``` #Inspired by Tom

For those getting started with Git. Atlassian offer bitbucket for 10 USD a year and their GUI sourcetree is free of charge. Integrates with Jira and for small development teams is amazing value for money. Paul -- Sent from: http://4d.1045681.n5.nabble.com/4D-Tech-f1376241.html

Re: gitignore for projects

I went the other direction and excluded everything except what I wanted to include, since I end up with stuff in the folder with the 4D structure that I don’t want to track. I should add an ignore for the .DS_Store files too. I’ll add the Settings folder at some point too. # Ignore everything

Re: gitignore for projects

I ignore anything in the settings directory, but you could argue against that. For example, you might want to track changes in your build settings file. You can't ignore catalog.4DCatalog if you want to track table and field changes to your structure. I'm currently exporting structure changes

any reason to NOT ignore the project/sources/catalog.4dcatalog or the settings/directory.json file? it seems those are regenerated every time you do anything in the project. On Mon, Jan 6, 2020 at 2:34 PM John DeSoi via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > > > > On Jan 6, 2020, at 12:13 PM,

You can keep your project in binary mode (even keep it in version 17) and still take advantage of version 18, project mode, and git. Here is what I'm doing. "Master" branch is version 17. When I want to commit a new version I have a 4D method that copies the structure, opens it in 4D 18, and

Hey Tom, I read the blog post and the first thing I thought was that trying to teach everyone how to use the CLI was not the wisest way to go. Getting your brain wrapped around all of the things that happen in git (wait - why am I force-pushing after a rebase? How do I redact a repo?) is hard
