Overdue Announcement: Dreamwidth, Github and you

As of several weeks ago, all commits to the Dreamwidth codebases have gone to our new repositories on Github:

There are a few relevant wiki documents that have been fully revised to account for this change:

  • Moving your Dreamwidth installation to use Github -- these instructions will tell you how to move your current Dreamhack/dev environment over to a Github based installation
  • Dev Maintenance -- this document tells you how to keep your Github Dreamwidth based installation (and your Dreamwidth forks) updated with the code from the Dreamwidth repositories
  • Draft: Github development process -- This is the document in the least refined state, so keep in mind that it is in stronger need of suggestions and revisions. It goes through the very basics of Git workflow. This and Dev Maintenance might eventually end up merged into one document.

We are working on getting the rest of the wiki development documentation updated (see the dw_wiki post). Feel free to comment to this post with your questions/concerns about the move!

A question - would I need a high speed connection to do this?

Another clueless question from me, as I've only just back into my Dreamhack. Where is $LJHOME? Is it dw?

Yup -- $LJHOME expands to ~/dw.
