Pulling Distributions with Git, how?

Posted by amingilani on January 22, 2013 at 12:33pm

Hey, according to the Building a Drupal site with Git tutorial, we just pull Core from the repo, rename the remote, add our own remote and start developing.

I tried doing that with the Commerce Kickstart distribution, however, when i checkout the current stable version, the files i get are:

build-commerce-kickstart.make
commerce_kickstart.profile
commerce_kickstart.info
commerce_kickstart.install
commerce_kickstart.install_callbacks.inc
drupal-org.make
drupal-org-core.make
modules
scripts
themes

When i expect a regular drupal site.

build-commerce-kickstart.make
commerce_kickstart.profile
commerce_kickstart.info
commerce_kickstart.install
commerce_kickstart.install_callbacks.inc
drupal-org.make
drupal-org-core.make

are files that should have been stored in the core /profiles/ folder the path when commerce_kickstart is installed is /profiles/commerce_kickstart

Okay... i understand that.. but i don't understand what you're trying to imply. Maybe dumb it down a little?

Do i first clone Core at the root, and then clone Kickstart in the /profile/ folder? Because then i'd just have a git within a git. And that would leave out:

modules
scripts
themes

So then i'd have to clone just those in their own respective folders, and then i'll end up with a git, a git, a git and yet another git within a git. That'd even drive Christopher Nolan to insanity.

I was implying that somehow the install either didn't properly grab all files or that you were somehow not in the root folder. To the best of my knowledge an install profile is supposed to include core when downloaded with git. When i download the release without git core is indeed included.

That said, I don't know what git command you utilized. Hence why I linked to the git commerce kickstart tab.

Yes

Yes, without Git, it comes with core included, i know, but with git, i just don't get it..

Did you work this out? I have

Did you work this out? I have run into the same question.

I was lead to believe that kickstart 2.0 applies patches to some core and contrib modules to make everything work so I would like to keep everything up to date with a simple git command.

Does this have to be done with a commerce kickstart sub git repo inside of the core git repo? I'm new to git so a clear explanation would be much appreciated.
