Bulding a Drupal site with git page is outdated

Created on 19 October 2024, 6 months ago

Documentation location/URL

This page is very outdated, it recommends cloning core, manually untar-ing Drupal 7 contrib modules, talks about git submodules etc.

Drupal 7 sites can be built via composer so it's outdated for Drupal 7 too let alone Drupal 10/11.

I am not sure what the archiving process is for this page so opening this issue.

Problem/Motivation

Proposed resolution

Archive the page with no replacement. It's impossible to recommend a single git workflow for site building because even Drupal-specific hosts have different deployment pipeline requirements.

    I changed the page status to deprecated based on this issue.

    Thank you I think that was the first step that I was missing!

    After a page is deprecated, do you know how to move it out of the guide altogether?

    Where should it be moved to?

    I can delete it. Should I? What is the process for that? I certainly don't know.

    After a page is deprecated, do you know how to move it out of the guide altogether?

    Yes, go to the guide the page is in. Select 'Admin' from the dropdown, select 'Menus', select 'list links', then disable the desired link.

    The page is now removed from the menu.

    Isn't it sufficient to edit "Menu settings" for the actual page and deselect "Provide a menu link"? At least that works when adding a page to the menu.

    I think we can mark this done, the page existing on the internet but not in a menu is probably fine for linkrot. The only other thing I can think of would be deleting and redirecting somewhere else.
