[kwlug-disc] Advanced(?) Git usage question

[John Johnson]

JP: Thanks for the info re: Capistrano, Jenkins, Bamboo, Gandalf (ending 
with "f" ).
Per Wikipedia (and my library) Gandalf is a fictional character in J. R. 
R. Tolkien's novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

I am replying to the KWLUG discussion group so that all can see your 
suggestions.
And comment, if so motivated.

As for the complexity of my project, it is really rather modest as its 
purpose is self-study and educational.
First, for the website / software technologies used therein.
Then, for the admin / dev / build management tools and techniques 
involved, e.g. Git.

Thanks
John Johnson
