Transfer the main repo to TinkerSoc organisation

[graymalkin]

I think it would be good to have this repo in the TinkerSoc organisation, and keep personal forks for development. Thoughts?

[egelmex]

Yeah agreed, but I wouldn't want to move it for a little while, ben and rob are only just starting to get the hang of git.

Well, we'd still be able to manage it in the organisation - it just keeps things a little better organised. I don't really mind either way, though.

[egelmex]

It's just dealing with upstreams and pull requests is a bit of a dick when you move, as unless they refork from the new repo all the pull requests will go to my fork.

ah, I see - fair enough. I'm in no hurry anyway, so whenever is fine :)

It's no big deal for us to refork from the new group-managed repo. No real hurry but it is probably best long-term.

It'll mean fiddling about with your remotes in Git, I guess - but it should be okay. It's @egelmex's call, I'll leave it for him.

[egelmex]

Still agree we should do it, but would rather put it off till I have time to sort out the infrastructure too, maybe over christmas?

Sounds good to me :+1:

GitHub keeps the old url as a redirect for the new repo; e.g.

git clone https://github.com/egelmex/TinkerWeb should be equivelant to git clone https://github.com/TinkerSoc/TinkerWeb

post change.

It really could be worth making a script to automate building the website locally, and pushing the static content to a GitHub pages branch, as that hosting is free and almost as high capacity (certainly Slashdot/HaD-proof)

[egelmex]

Got details on how to do this?

[graymalkin]

it would just be a case of pushing the contents of _site to a gh-pages branch.

We'd also need a CNAME file, as described here

Not sure on the git specifics for copying the contents of a folder to a given branch. Should be feasible, though.

[graymalkin]

Potentially we could have a Makefile too, so we can do things like

• make quick to skip flickr
• make full to build website in full
• make serve to build and serve
• make deploy to build and push to GitHub pages

[graymalkin]

Aha, someone has made a rakefile to do it:

require "rubygems"

desc "Deploy to Github Pages"
task :deploy do
  puts "## Deploying to Github Pages"

  puts "## Generating site"
  system "grunt build"

  cd "_site" do
    system "git add -A"

    message = "Site updated at #{Time.now.utc}"
    puts "## Commiting: #{message}"
    system "git commit -m \"#{message}\""

    puts "## Pushing generated site"
    system "git push"

    puts "## Deploy Complete!"
  end
end
