Chapter 16 ■ Using Git This will pull down any changes that exist on GitHub and will merge them into our local repository. The next step in the process is to push our local repository up to GitHub, as GitHub right now is basically empty. Use the following command to push our Drupal 8 site up to the remote repository: Git push origin master After pushing our changes, both our local and remote repositories will be in sync. As you add files or change files on your local repository, you’ll need to push them up to GitHub so that others will have access. The process is relatively straightforward: 1. Using git status, check to see which local files have been added to your Drupal 8 instance or what files have been changed. 2. From the list of additions and changes, use git add to add each of the files to Git, replacing with the actual names of the files listed from git status. If you have several files in a single directory that were added or changed, you can accomplish the same tasks by adding the directory that the files reside in using git add . 3. Commit your changes locally using git commit –m "some message that describes the changes you are committing". You may commit after each file is added or you may commit once after you’ve added all the files that were added or changed. It depends on the granularity of what you want to revert to in case of an issue. In most cases, committing after adding a group of files is adequate. 4. After the files have been committed locally, it’s time to push them to GitHub. To push the changes, use git push origin master. If there are multiple people working on your GitHub repository, you may run into a situation where attempting to push files results in an error stating that your master branch is behind X number of commits. Simply execute git pull to download and merge those changes and then re-execute git push origin master. In situations where you’ve changed a file that was also changed by someone else, Git will report that there is a merge conflict. Git writes useful information into the file where the merge conflict occurred. Examine the file and resolve the issues. For more information on resolving merge conflicts, visit the Git documentation site at http://git-scm.com/documentation. With your Drupal 8 site uploaded to GitHub, you can now provide other people access to your repository so that they can download and optionally commit changes to your repository. If you have upgraded your GitHub account, you will need to grant access to your repository by following the steps listed on your GitHub repository’s landing page. If you have not upgraded your account, you won’t need to do anything to grant access because, by default, free accounts are publicly accessible. To clone your GitHub repository on a laptop, desktop, or server, you may either use the git clone command or download a zip file of the repository using the Download ZIP button on your repository’s landing page. The best approach is to use Git and to clone the repository. To do so, simply copy the HTTPS clone URL listed in the right column of your GitHub repository landing page and execute the following command: git clone replacing with the actual URL listed on your GitHub repository landing page. For example, git clone https://github.com/Drupal8Todd/drupal8.git drupal8 182
Chapter 16 ■ Using Git would clone the GitHub repository into a directory named drupal8. After cloning I could then use, modify, add to the repository, and optionally commit those changes back to the GitHub repository. There is a great deal of documentation on how to manage a multideveloper Git repository on the Git website, including topics such as creating separate branches where developers may work on changes that are then merged back into the master branch when they are ready to do so. Using Git on Drupal.org You can also use Git to clone Drupal itself or modules and themes. While Drush (see Chapter 15) makes downloading and updating modules and themes simple, there may be times when you want to contribute changes back to Drupal core or a contributed module or theme. To do so requires that you use Git and contribute your changes back to Drupal.org, a module’s repository, or a theme’s repository. Following the steps outlined previously in this chapter for creating a clone of a remote repository, visit www.drupal.org/project/drupal and click the “Version control” link near the top of the page. On the resulting page you will see instructions for how to clone the repository. That same “Version control” link appears at the top of each module’s or theme’s landing page on Drupal.org. You may also clone a module’s or theme’s repository following the same steps as previously outlined. For guidelines on how to contribute code to the community, visit www.drupal.org/contribute/development. Summary The first time you’re able to revert a file to a previous state will be the day that you fall on your knees and praise those who have created source code control systems like Git. While it’s possible to restore files from backups, the reality is that with a few simple keystrokes, you can roll back a file or your entire site to a previous state with relative ease. The second time that you will praise the Git creators is when you have a situation where you have multiple developers working on your site and they all need to jointly contribute code to the project. Spending a few minutes to learn the basics of Git will save you a lifetime of headaches, heartaches, and the occasional all-nighter as you try to restore a site back to a previous state from spotty backups. 183
