Another post about moving dreamhack to github

[kimira]

Hi, I haven't done much with my dreamhack in a while, but the recent post made me want to try moving it to github. Only I've become stuck at the very beginning of the process. The wiki page linked me to a page about github which linked me to a crach course on git (as I haven't used it before), and this linked me eventually to a place to download git for my OS (windows) but there are two versions there ("Git for Windows" and "msysGit") and I don't know which one I'm supposed to use.

Yeah, you're right, I hate that page that gets linked to. (credential-osxkeychain? useless for Dreamhacks). Revision upcoming.

I just did a heavy revision of Dev Maintenance that I think has a better work flow.

After this I will probably make a temporary page describing development flow in git--

create a new branch
making commits
pushing to Github
pull request
deleting branch after it has been merged into development?

--and then merge the elements into the existing pages to update them. I don't think I can focus on what needs to be described while updating existing pages at the same time.

Once that temporary page is made, I think I can make a good dw_dev post that links to most absolutely needed knowledge, and 90d can help me fill out how to phrase it for newbies in Windows.
