revel dev about cmd

[pedromorgan]

Snag for any revel developer is to do the

go get

and installed etc..

But as a developer one needs to
cd GOPATH/revel
and then checkout

So this command is a quick way to switch betdeen versions and branches ;-)

[pedromorgan]

go get detect

if github url == https.. and branch == master

else
switch urls and branches

This looks to be more of a job for documentation then something we really want to try to implement ourselves. If we are looking to do a release cycle month I think this can be closed, thoughts @pedromorgan ?

[pedromorgan]

yea will make docs

[pedromorgan]

Actually I do have thoughts..

The situation is that a standard revel install is via

go get github.com/revel/cmd
and this installs all revel/modules etc from master

Now say I want to switch to the develop "mode"
i need to enter the revel and modules (examples) and switch branch to develop

That's the idea in my head.. so i can then test latest develop branch, and switch back and forth at will

# lets have some fun
revel switch develop
revel run github.com/revel/revelframework.com

## a bug or someting so switch back
revel switch stable
revel run github.com/revel/revelframework.com

[pedromorgan]

and all it does in psuedo code

revel switch develop

for r in [revel, modules, examples] {
   cd GOPATH + github.com/revel/ + r
   git checkout <branch>
}

But develop can also have a switch to check git@ vs http checkout etc

[pedromorgan]

I think I need to create a new hackers page... to explain

branching problem et all
and namespace.. etc

But still think we need the

revel update < upgrades to latest
revel dev < check developer info

And while were at it, we need a console to sak questions

cd github.com/me
revel wizz app
## enter project location
> github.com/me/

## Title [optional]
> 

enable jobs
enable ws
etc

Oh and forgot..

I think what you are talking about here is some package management tool There are a lot and they can do what you ask. I think it is not necessary for us to reinvent the wheel on this.

This is now happening
