[Koha] [KOHA] Koha GIT - Cloned the main repository but stuck on how to proceed

[Susan Mustafa]

Dear Chris, and all Koha,

This might not be best place to ask, but I am new to GIT and I have searched
all day on a way to do the following.


[Development] [Test] [Production] <--Big Servers, not laptop

[*Development Server to have*]
============[Koha GIT Clone] ====> sudo git clone  git://
git.koha-community.org/koha.git koha-clone
========================[Company Branch] =====>sudo git branch --track
MSDR-Branch origin/master
[*Test Server to have*]
==================Only Test Code [no git]
[*Production Server to have*]
==================Only Production Code [no git]


Now I believe up to this point I understand and it is working fine. However
I am stuck on the following:

[My Laptop - Local Development]

- How do I checkout the MSDR-Branch on this laptop, so I can make changes to
it, and commit those changes to the MSDR-Branch. [Help please].  I did alot
of different commands, non of which work.

Assuming the laptop has SSH installed, and the IP is 123.xx.xxx.xxx

I searched google for remote branches/checking out remote branches/....and I
don't know how to proceed.  It all seems complicated? Do I use checkout
command, and how do I access the MSDR-Branch from the server while working
from laptop.

I kindly need your help, anyone :)

The development workflow should be like:


===============Development Server========GIT Clone + Main MSDR-Branch *The
whole team will have to use it, not just me*
|   |
|   |
|    ======================Laptop - only me--commiting code to GIT on the
Development Server MSDR-Branch
======================Another Laptop - someone else -- committing code to
GIT on the Development Server MSDR-Branch


ps: I really did search a lot.  I even used EGIT for Eclipse but it was not
great...not like the SVN plugin.


Thanks,
