Git Confusion - thread detour from [Radiant] [ANN] Radiant 0.9.0 RC1

There are no end of resources out there, my personal recommendation though: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/%7Eblynn/gitmagic/ Ah. about 50 pages more than I wanted. Telling me all the things that as a non-developer I don't need to know about, and not answering fundamental questions like when do I have to worry about a 'module' or 'submodule' and how can I keep from geting an update from 0.9 when I've got a 0.6.9 based application or vice versa, and what if I'm using 0.9 and I try to ... clone? ... an extension that hasn't a 0.9 revision now but will have in the future? I'm sure I'm not the only person on this list who has questions like that. I can assure you that you are not. I am also come from a 'non-developer' background (wishing I had gotten that CS degree, though) and I blazed the git trail myself back in January when I moved a project from 0.6.9 to 0.7.0. There is a lot to learn, especially if you haven't worked with source control before. I tell ya what, I have been meaning to resurrect/rebuild my long dormant blog and I'll make that the first topic. If you can give me a few days I'll compile a short Newbies guide to Git and Radiant describing my whole development process. It's something I promised to do a long time ago and never had the time. In the meantime, if you have any specific questions about the process, please ask them. So far I see the git-related questions are: - What are submodules? Which is really a question about how to install extensions when your project is managed with git and is related to using Ray. - How can I make sure the extension I am using will work with my project running v.X.X.X? This isn't a git question that I intend to cover because I think it is in the wiki already, but I'll answer it here: - How can I install newer gem versions of Radiant but stay with 0.6.9 on this project? By default, Radiant will try and use the latest version of the gem that you have installed. To use a specific version of Radiant, go into environment file (config/environment.rb) and add this line under the require 'radius' line (substitute your version for 0.8.1): RADIANT_GEM_VERSION = '0.8.1' Then save the file and restart the server. What I am not certain on is how you *create* a Radiant project using a specific version of the gem. If anyone could chime in here it would be great. I didn't see it mentioned in the wiki either. I hope that clears up some part of your confusion, Arthur. Like I said, I'll get to the git 'splaining shortly. I know what it's like to have a developer point you to a source of info chock-full of stuff that you don't understand when you ask what seems like a simple question. ~Nate ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant

You can find that from 'gem environment' and looking at GEM_PATHS. Mine is typically /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8.

oh and once you've created a radiant from an older version (or edge) you probably want to freeze it with `rake radiant:freeze:edge TAG=0.7.1` or whatever On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 3:35 PM, john muhl johnm...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 3:02 PM, Nate Turnage pixeln...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 2:45 PM, Dayne Broderson da...@gina.alaska.eduwrote: [dbrod...@beef ~]$ gem environment ...
