notes regarding the model course repository.

# Copy all tracked model course files from the live location to the staging location

# Update staging from GitHub

# Update GitHub from staging
git push

# Create a new model course from an existing model course,
# keeping all git history intact in both courses

# create the new course, properly named <new-model>,
# from <old-model> in the web interface

# to properly preserve the edit history of both models in git:

git checkout -b dup
git mv <old-model> <new-model>
git commit -m "Duplicate <old-model> <new-model>"

# optional
# rsync
# git status
# etc
# but caution, with any extra commits, the following command needs additional ~'s

git checkout HEAD~ <old-model>
git commit -m "Restore <old-model>"

git checkout -
git merge --no-ff dup

# merge new <new-model> into main

# when all is done
git branch -d dup

The model course naming scheme: modelDDD-CCC where DDD is the discipline number (201) and CCC is the course short reference. example: model201-NYB

The course title can have more detail if needed, for example, model201-SN3 Calculus II: Integral Calculus for Science), or model203-SN2-LA Électricité et magnétisme.

Change the name of a model course

  • In staging:

    git mv <old name>/ <new name>/
# Add <new name> and delete <old name> from model-include-from
nano model-include-from
git add model-include-from
git commit -m "Rename <old name> to <new name>."

  • In the admin course:

    • Make a new course with name
    • based on
    • copy simple.conf

  • In staging:
    Pull in and commit the new course files.

    rsync -avv --include-from=model-include-from --exclude-from=model-exclude-from /opt/webwork/courses/* ./
git add <new name>
git commit -S -m "Initialize <new name>"

  • In :

    • make any and all changes needed, including template links, README, course_info etc.

  • In staging:
    Pull in and commit the edited course files.
    As above.

  • When all is good, edit localOverrides.conf to add the newly named model to the list. (RCS etc for now at least).

  • push the model course changes to GitHub. In staging, git push.
