Discussion: "environment" nomenclature in the documentation is confusing #47

Closed brindy closed 5 years ago

brindy commented 5 years ago

For me an environment is "production", "staging", etc.

When I ran takeoff init <env> I was expecting it to be structured in a way that reflected this and allow me to add alternative environments based on the same overall source code, but it seems to be more of a "workspace", ie a collection of projects and configuration.

Further more, the Angular app itself appears to talk about environments, including the code:

if (environment.production) {
  enableProdMode();
}

Have I misunderstood the intention or would an alternative name (like "workspace") be more appropriate?

@brindy Yes, I agree I didn't always like that name - workspace does sound better. Naming is hard :)
