BLM 2020

Black Lives Matter Memphis is building a Memphis where Black people thrive and live full lives. We are working together to make our BLM 2020 Vision a reality. We will build Black political power by organizing around transformative policies; creating and implementing programs that heal and restore our community; and dismantling anti-Black institutions, systems, and societal norms. We affirm and celebrate all Black lives, all of the ways in which we exist, and all of our various identities.

Dev Setup

Clone this repository:

git clone git@github.com:Backdrop4Good/blm2020.git
cd blm2020

Add in a settings.php to the web directory. The file that points to the config (which is outside of the web directory).

wget https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop/raw/1.x/settings.php

Replace the config pointer lines with these:

$config_directories['active'] = '../config/active';
$config_directories['staging'] = '../config/staging';

Starting the BLM 2020 App

BLM 2020 uses Lando to manage the dev stack and dependencies. If you don't have Lando installed click the link to install it on your computer. Once you have Lando start the app:

lando start

Once the the app has been started, install Backdrop using the installer at http://blm2020.lndo.site. Then import the Backdrop Configuration:

lando drush bcim

You may need to flush the caches.

Theming

BLM 2020 uses gulp and sass to manage the css.

Compile CSS files from SCSS files:

lando gulp

Watch the files for changes:

lando gulp watch

Tooling

Lando includes drush to help you work with Backdrop. To use drush you will want to be in the BACKDROP_ROOT which is web for this project.

Using drush:

cd web
lando drush cc all

Configuration Management Workflow

BLM 2020 is using the versioned staging approach to Configuration Management. The config/staging directory is versioned and committed to the git repository. The config/active directory is .gitignored.

Workflow:

• All config changes are made on your local dev environment
• IMPORTANT: make sure to import configuration before you start to do any work. If you do not, you could wipe out other's confguration work when you export config. You can import configuraton here: /admin/config/development/configuration or use this command:

lando drush bcim

• Once you are satisfied with your changes export them

lando drush bcex

• Commit the changes and push up

git push github ISSUENUMBER-feature-branch

• File a Pull Request (PR) against the test branch on GitHub
