Drupal Features

my workflow.md

Fork off source repo:

your-organzation/repo-name, preparing the git side of things.

// delete current remote origin (git@).
git remote rm origin
// Add fork as origin user/organzations/repo-name (with push perms).
git remote add origin git@github.com:user/repo-name.git
// Add source repo as upstream (https).
git remote add upstream https://github.com/organzations/repo-name.git
// Check out branch and create a local version
git checkout -b branch-name

Create the Feature:

its all magic!

Testing the Feature:

// Back up db via sql dump.
drush sql-dump --gzip --results-file=../drupal7_server_db-name-2014-xx-xx-local.sql.gz
// Import previous db dump (this has to be a db which does not have your new feature on).
drush sql-cli < ../db/drupal7_server_db-name-2014-xx-xx.sql.gz
// Rebuild registry, clear cache, enable newly created feature. drush rr
drush cc all
drush enable ht_admin_area

if all works!
