Getting started with github

I’m hosting my facebook actionscript demo source code at github. I’ve never used git before, so it’s been a fun learning experience. I managed to get the demo running on a github project page instead of being hosted on an ESC server. I’m not certain I’m taking the best approach, but I have the project setup now with these branches:

becarella/fb_as_connect
|-> master (the demo source code)
|-> gh-pages (the demo project page)
         |-> demo (submodule that pulls from the master branch so I can display the web files hosted there)

I updated the canvas and connect pages for the demo facebook app to pull from the demo submodule.

This post was really helpful in getting the demo submodule setup: http://woss.name/2008/04/09/using-git-submodules-to-track-vendorrails/

I’m going to continue tweaking it and probably frequently break things as I continue to figure out the checkout/commit/merge/push process.
