Hi Everyone,
I need some advice with my desired setup with git and rails.
Basically for my first Rails application I used a base application template from GitHub, I then made a ton of changes and now have a full application which is fairly customised.
I have now extracted all of the changes I made to the files within the base application template and have committed the changes to my fork of the github repo. Ideally, I would like to have the base application template as a branch in my application and rebase it with my master. Is this actually possible?
The reason I want to do this: I want to keep the base application up to date and functional, so for my next project I can just clone the base application template from my github fork and get working. Likewise, if anyone fixes any bugs in the base application template, I could merge those fixes with any application I have the base application template as a branch?
Is this possible? Is there a better/more common way to do this?
Thanks in advanced!
Thanks,
Danny
