--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From now on, you can use git as usual to commit your changes in your own branch.
PUBLISHING THE CONFIGURATION
----------------------------
Usually a development machine like a notebook should be considered
temporary only. For this reason and to enable shareability, the configuration
should be published to another device as early as possible. The following
example shows how to publish the configuration to another host that is
reachable via ssh and has git installed:
own account / server, one/multiple users
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create bare git repository on the host named "loch"
cdist% ssh loch "GIT_DIR=/home/nutzer/cdist git init"
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/nutzer/cdist/
clone
update
branches
own branch => very early [before first change?]
=> no, first quick intro, then do it right
ssh-keys
# Add remote git repo to git config
cdist% git remote add loch loch:/home/nutzer/cdist
# Add keys (requires password for every identity file)
# Configure the mycompany branch to push to loch
cdist% git config branch.mycompany.remote loch
# Configure mycompany branch to push into remote master branch
cdist% git config branch.mycompany.merge refs/heads/master
# Push mycompany branch to remote branch master initially
cdist% git push loch mycompany:refs/heads/master
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you have setup the git repository to synchronise the **mycompany**
branch with the **master** branch on the host **loch**. Thus you can commit
as usual in your branch and push out changes by entering ***git push***.
UPDATING FROM ORIGIN
--------------------
Whenever you want to update your cdist installation, you can use git to do so:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Update git repository with latest changes from origin
cdist% git fetch origin
# Update current branch with master branch from origin
cdist% git merge origin/master
# Alternative: Update current branch with 2.0 branch from origin
cdist% git merge origin/2.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
