Git Workflow from the Beginning

Brilliant, is Git. GIT is a staging and deployment process and tool, for those working in a team simultaneously on the same project. While it is a bit daunting in the beginning, after you use it the process becomes second nature. I’m only starting, so it is appropriate for me to document my learning process, which might help others.

While git is used mostly for software development, where each team member can work on code simultaneously, it really facilitates team collaboration of any project. Two people can work on the same document, individually commit their work, and send it back to the server for someone else to approve and then merge.

Drupal 6 Workflow Module: Documentation


I have been doing workflow applications going on a decade now using Domino Notes. It is very sophisticated and secure but administratively very heavy. I was intrigued with Drupal’s Workflow module. I am using Drupal 6.9 and Workflow version 6.x-1.1. Though the module is at first confusing, it seems to work quite well.

___Workflow allows you to define a process or series of steps necessary to get to your final destination. Each step requires some action and approval before moving to the next step. For a simple example, in order to eat an apple the workflow steps required could include: purchase, wash, eat. Each of these steps needs to be defined, and each step requires someone to do the step and to approve it.
