Hello I'm a very basic user of github and I wanted to know what do I need to use if:

I want to have the code of the official bot version in use
I want to have the code of the test/dev version seperated
In case I need to fix a bug on the production one while the dev version is completely in rewriting.

if anybody knows how and/or can refer me for things to learn peepoSmile

ripe sail just 2 branches

thanks do you have a tutorial that explain almost exactly what I need in my situation please ?

ripe sail Sep 24, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

i mean, it's just.. using 2 branches separately

#

you have the main branch which would probably for prod, and then a dev branch
you can commit to each separately, and you can merge dev onto main

balmy notch Sep 24, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

Oh ok

#

so merging is just transfering code from a branch to an other

ripe sail Sep 24, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

check out the link i sent

#

it has stuff about using branches

ripe sail Sep 24, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

balmy notch so merging is just transfering code from a branch to an other

a bit more complicated than that but that's the idea

balmy notch Sep 24, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

and I guess there's an option to save the master as a realease version ?

ripe sail Sep 24, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

you can configure that to be shown in github but github isn't really where you publish stuff

balmy notch Sep 24, 2023, 2:48 PM

#

I mean accessing to old version of master code

#

like if I do a rework such as a v2 and merge it to master I want to have acess to the master v1

#

sorry if my english sounds weird

ripe sail Sep 24, 2023, 2:53 PM

#

git saves a full commit history

#

but you can also branch for those if you want

balmy notch Sep 24, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

isn't that tags are for ?

ripe sail Sep 24, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

version tags?

#

yeah

balmy notch Sep 24, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

these

ripe sail Sep 24, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

sure

Then what is guthub

ripe sail Sep 25, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

github is where you host gits

#

like pornhub is where you host porn

#

(that's the go-to comparison. don't judge.)

plucky heath Sep 25, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

ripe sail github is where you host gits

I mean it is same as publishing

ripe sail Sep 25, 2023, 4:09 PM

#

it isn't

#

you don't publish gits, you publish projects

plucky heath Sep 25, 2023, 4:10 PM

#

How will you define git as then? A part of code?

#

Or is it a part of a project?

ripe sail Sep 25, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

git, on its own, is an scm (source control management, aka version control) software
it keeps tracks of changes within a project, which git calls a repository
when saying "github is where you host gits", "gits" are referring to those repositories with the change history tracked via git

I see... thanks for the understanding/help... but then if a project is a repo and u r publishing a project... u r using github to publish a project...

ripe sail Sep 25, 2023, 4:17 PM

plucky heath I see... thanks for the understanding/help... but then if a project is a repo an...

first off, github is primarily for hosting them, not for publishing them to begin with

#

secondly, published projects aren't just the source code

#

from source to dist often involves build steps, like compilation

#

those aren't reflected in the repo

plucky heath Sep 25, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

ripe sail first off, github is primarily for *hosting* them, not for publishing them to be...

As hosting i have understood...it is like running it on ur system... is it same hosting like that?

ripe sail Sep 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

that's hosting a server or whatever, but here we're talking about hosting content

#

like google drive, or youtube, or like i mentioned before, pornhub

plucky heath Sep 25, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

Well to me... hosting and publishing are synonymous to each other rn...
Coz 1. U r storing that code.. 2. U r not just storing but sharing that as well.. and others to see and contribute to it... and many times i have seen examples where people try to give a outlook of what their code does using images and such...which i consider as publishing... publishing for me is to convey ur thing to peeps so they can utilize and reuse in github sense

ripe sail Sep 25, 2023, 4:47 PM

#

publishing doesn't do either of those

#

publishing software is giving out a usable version, not the source code

#

publishing ts doesn't include ts, it distributes js

#

publishing java doesn't include java, it distributes jars

plucky heath Sep 25, 2023, 4:59 PM

#

I thinm we may have a difference of meaning between what publishing means... thanks for the kind info...it helped me learn new.things

balmy notch Sep 25, 2023, 7:21 PM

#

Can I mark this as solved ?

ripe sail Sep 25, 2023, 7:34 PM

#

well, did you manage to get the 2 branches up?
