Re: [git-users] How to use git for web site development
Title: Re: [git-users] How to use git for web site development Thanks for your help Gergely! 1) Do you mean use manual tracking or is there any automatic ways to do that? 2) Features could be added only when I have something but what should I do before? Someone suggested to do everything in master branch and create checkpoint branches for each release (later they could continue its own development). However is it a good approach for web site development? 3) Thanks, that's a good idea! That way each developer will have their own config file.

I work with the Django framework which provides automation for it. It's hard to make suggestions without knowing the details. 2) Features could be added only when I have something but what should I do before? Someone suggested to do everything in master branch and create checkpoint branches for each release (later they could continue its own development). However is it a good approach for web site development? This, as I said, depends on your own methods. For my last project I tracked everything from the beginning on different branches even if they were instantly cherry-picked back to master. I added authentication on one branch, registration on another, product listing on a third, etc. The fact you make a branch for every feature doesn't mean you must have tons of feature branches at a time. Working with feature branches doesn't prevent you from having version branches. However, it is a bit strange for me to have version branches in web development. Unless you are making a web based product, why would you have them? For a web service (like, eg. GitHub) use continuous deliveries (like GitHub). Whenever you think a feature is ready, deploy it. You may, of course make some feature locks if feature A is not fully usable without feature B, but we are touching development methodology waters here. 3) Thanks, that's a good idea! That way each developer will have their own config file.
