Manual Publication Workflow

It is straightforward to manually publish texts. I will demonstrate how to to so by publishing some root texts.

Step 1

• first we need to know the file or folder path which we will publish, I will use root/pli/ms

root/pli/ms

Step 2

• navigate the bilara-data repo (i.e. bilara/repo)
• checkout the published branch
• make sure it's up to date
• create a new branch from it, in this case I will use publish-pali

git checkout published
git pull
git checkout -b publish-pali

Step 3

• checkout the files to-be-published from the unpublished branch (uses the path from earlier)
• create a commit containing the checked out files
• push the branch to github

git checkout unpublished root/pli/ms
git commit -a -m "Publishing the main pali texts"
git push -u origin publish-pali

Step 4

• Go to github.com
• Create a Pull Request, from publish-pali to published - get the branches right!
• Once the pull request has been accepted, the texts are published!
