Getting started with Git (for Drupal) on Windows

This is a step-by-step guide to getting GIT working in Windows.
Note that what follows a $ is what you should type after the BASH $ command prompt.
I recommend taking a look at this great set of video tutorials about git.

Download and install git for Windows here.
Signup for github.com to store your git repositories conveniently online. (Micro service is $7/month at time of writing, 22/9/12) Alternately, bitbucket.org provides free private git repositories for up to five users.

Sign into the github application with your github.com account at the top right of the application window.
Create a new repository in the github application and make the first commits that the github application prompts you to: .gitattributes and .gitignore.

Configuring git on your local server

Make sure that git is installed on your server. I did this by installing the git web application in the Webfaction (my host) control panel.
Open the gitbash program. This will give you the $ command line.
Add your name: $ git config --global user.name “Your Name”
Add your e-mail: $ git config --global user.email “your.email@example.com”
See the details that you have entered: $ cat ~/.gitconfig

Custom theming: Add html5 placeholder attribute to a webform component in theme

You can add an html5 placeholder attribute in your theme using a preprocess hook. Here's an example for an email component:

<?php
function THEMENAME_preprocess_webform_email(&$variables) {
 
$variables['element']['#attributes']['placeholder'] = t('Email Address');
}
?>

Transliteration

Transliteration provides a central transliteration (romanization) service to other Drupal modules, and cleans file names during upload by replacing unwanted characters.

Generally spoken, it takes Unicode text and tries to represent it in US-ASCII characters (universally displayable, unaccented characters) by attempting to transliterate the pronunciation expressed by the text in some other writing system to Roman letters.

According to Unidecode, from which most of the transliteration data has been derived, "Russian and Greek seem to work passably. But it works quite bad on Japanese and Thai."

In Drupal 8 core

Transliteration is part of Drupal 8 core. See #567832: Transliteration in core.

Install

Install the module in the usual way

If you are installing to an existing Drupal site, you might want to fix existing file names after installation, which will update all file names containing non-ASCII characters. However, if you have manually entered links to those files in any contents, these links will break since the original files are renamed. Therefore it is a good idea to test the conversion first on a copy of your web site. You'll find the retroactive conversion at Configuration and modules >> Media >> File system >> Transliteration.
