Using git, you can set up either publicly hosted repositories on github.com or gitorious.org or perhaps other public repo places. If you don't want you code to be publicly available, you can set up private repositories as well. Not being familiar with Windows implementations much at all, I can't tell you specifically what to do with msysgit, so these will be more generic instructions. I'm going to assume you don't have a host somewhere with ssh access. In this case you'll most likely want/need to set up your repository on your local system. (Note that it isn't *strictly* necessary to have a repository -- you can clone a new tree from the existing code tree, however having a repository can ensure a clean code set in case your working tree gets out of sync somehow.) (These instructions are modified from http://tumblr.intranation.com/post/766290565/how-set-up-your-own-private-git-server-linux ) First, create a directory you want to hold all of your local repositories (such as C:\User\rene\MyRepositories). Then create a subdirectory off that to hold your server/application common code (C:\Users\rene\MyRepositories\commoncode). Make that directory (..\commoncode) a *bare* repository. (Not sure how that's done with msysgit, but the basic git command is: "git init --bare C:\Users\rene\MyRepositories\commoncode") Then you add the repository as a remote to the working tree: git remote add origin C:\Users\rene\MyRepositories\commoncode Now you can push commits to your repository with the following sequence: git add <files you want to commit> git commit git push origin master Now, to *deploy*, you can do the following: Somewhere outside your working tree, create a directory called "deploy": mkdir C:\Users\rene\deploy Then clone your the repository of your commond code: git clone C:\Users\rene\MyRepositories\commoncode cleancode-20120404 Then you can ftp the contents of cleancode-20120404 to your server as needed. Sorry to be unable to tell you the exact steps with msysgit, but I hope you can interpolate from the commands above. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
