Pull requests

When you've finished your coding, create a new git branch, commit to that branch, and merge to master. We use nvie's succesful git branching model for managing branches.

Push your master branch to your repo and send a pull request. See below for directions on pushing straight to production.

Handy tips

Adding the following to your .bash_aliases, .bashrc or .bash_profile will let you easily set up a dev environment:

alias slcpy='cd ~/<your workspace folder>/slcpy && workon slcpy`
alias startslcpy='slcpy && ./manage.py runserver`

Coding Best Practices

• Do not use tabs to indent. Use spaces for all indentation.
• html,css,sass/scss, and javascript files should only have 2 space indents
• python files should have 4 space indent
• png is the preferred image format.
• With images, if no automatic conversion is available, use the following imagemagick/graphicsmagick command: gm convert <image>.jpg -resize 960x -unsharp 2x0.5+0.7+0 -quality 98 <image>.png

Production deployment

Public key

Contact faris [ät] theluckybead.com or send a pull request to get your public key placed in the production repo.

Pushing to prod

Once your public key is added to the repo, add the production repo to your remote as follows:

git remote add production git@slcpy.com:slcpy.com.git

Then you can push to the repo via:

git push origin master && git push production master

The app server will reboot and run collectstatic -l to link up static files.
