Workflow for Working in the Command Line (Terminal)

Prior Reading

This documentation presupposes that you understand the basics of working in the command line, are familiar with the repository structure, and have downloaded a Subversion client:

Rationale

It is important that you follow a standard workflow when working in Terminal. Following the workflow outlined in this documentation will help prevent conflicts when you commit your work and will ensure that you always have the most recent schema and Schematron when you are working in Oxygen.

Workflow

This will be your workflow for each work session:
Open Terminal.
cd lemdo: This brings you into the lemdo directory; cd stands for “change directory.”
svn up: This updates your local copy of the LEMDO repository. Doing this regularly ensures that you are always working with the most recent version of the LEMDO Schema and that you have access to any new tools and keyboard shortcuts that we have added.
Do your work in Oxygen.
Save and validate your work in Oxygen. We never commit files that are not valid.
Go back into Terminal.
svn up: It is best practice to do this regularly, including before you commit a file.
svn status: This lists the files in which you have made changes (indicated by an “M” for “modified” on the left side of the window) and shows the pathway to that file. You should still be in the lemdo directory when you do this.
cd into the lowest level before your file. To do so, type cd followed by the pathway to that level. You may also choose to copy-and-paste the pathway generated by the svn status above. E.g., if you had modified emdH5_FM.xml, you would run cd data/texts/H5/main.
svn commit -m "message about what you did": This commits your changes. Include a brief message about what you did to your files inside of the quotation marks.
cd back to the lemdo level. To do so, type cd ../ until you get to the correct level.
If you are continuing you work session, return to Step 2.
We recommend that you svn up and svn commit frequently.

Tips

Always svn up from the lemdo directory.
Always svn commit from the lowest possible directory.
We recommend doing an svn status at the lemdo level to ensure that you see all changes that you have made in your local copy of the LEMDO repository. You may also choose to do a subsequent svn status at a lower level to check the files that you have made changes in at that level.
Only commit valid files. See Practice: Validate your File in Oxygen.
