Making Drupal sites with Drush make
kurkuma
This is an introduction to building Drupal sites the right way by using drush make.
It is still very frequent to develop Drupal sites a a monolithic accumulation of code in a git repository, adding modules, themes and custom code as required. That is not bad per se, but can be done much better and in a repeatable way with the help of drush make.
This session will be driven by examples and will focus on:
- Using make files to develop projects reducing the size of our Git repositories by orders of magnitude
- Rebuild on each installation or deployment instead of cloning and copying
- Apply and manage patches without losing your mind
- Basics of distributions
Note for the selection: I realise this session is well suited for a training session, but possibly too short for a whole day. If there were workshops sessions this would be an excellent candidate for them.
