Re: Installation Plan

hi Dennis,

In general your plan looks good. Note that you don't actually need the
Eclipse plugin at all, it just makes it possible to do git operations
while in your IDE. Most people will, even if they have the plugin,
still use the full client as it provides a lot more power and
flexibility. Use whatever you need to, and extend your toolset when
required.

Also, the leap from central repository on Linux to a clone on Windows
needs a little more thought. Will you set up a git server? Access the
central repository over ssh? A shared drive? Many people use a web
service (such as Bitbucket or GitHub) for this purpose as it becomes
easier to manage. You can then have a clone on the Linux box as well
as the Windows box.

Am I over simplifying things? I also think that this will open the door
for collaborators in the event I need them with no changes to the way I
work. I should note that builds are done on demand so is there a way to
detect when a push is occurring and have the build script wait for
completion and I suppose vise-versa?

You want to look into the different hooks available, most notable the
post-receive hook. There are also build servers that can monitor a
repository and build whenever it sees a new commit (Jenkins and Bamboo
are two I know of).
