![]() Now that you have cloned your repo you can go to work. Enter your http address, local folder, and hit Save. Handy.Ĭloning a repo was simple too, since there is a rather large button off to the left that says "Clone Remote Repository". Before even checking out your repositories you'll notice that you have access to create a new Github or Beanstalk repo right from the interface. Installing Tower is relatively straight forward and it even gives you the option of adding in your Github or Beanstalk account if you use those applications already, which definitely speeds up the process. As a designer I can appreciate the effort that developers put into designing an interface that works as expected. Tower is an elegant app, beautifully designed and packed full of features. If you have any that you like particulary more than these two I would like to know about them, because I am always looking for something that works a little better, and a little easier. There are probably many more apps than I found, or for this post could test. So in my search I came across two apps for the Mac. What more could a designer like me ask for? Apps to the Rescue Simple interface that lists my repositories in one place, its visual, and there are "buttons"! No idea how happy it makes me feel to see an application for Git, or Subversion systems that actually have simple interfaces. Recently I started using the app for, which is Github for Mac. Why can't this be easier? I love visual representations that my code is up, and that it has been submitted correctly. After reading through all the documentation and setting up my account, the Terminal commands were starting to drive me a little nuts. And considering I have been working on a CSS framework for the past few weeks I wanted to turn it into a theme and finally submit it to the Drupal repository. Most of the themes I have developed for clients in the past few years have been custom one off solutions so there was no way I was going to submit a previous clients site theme to. Right after I set up my account I was chomping at the bit to get my code submitted to my project repository and get everything rolled out for a new theme that I was developing. So far last in fact that I didn't even signup for a Git account on until last weekend. I am a designer first, and a developer last. Well, your first reaction would be wrong. Considering that I've been developing sites on the Drupal platform for two years, you would assume that I would know how Git on works.
