Getting Git all setup was not that hard.  There are a ton of how-tos especially from Git.

• Have an account
• Set up computer to talk – ssh https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/

To setup a new git I use command and the Github App.  I like the visual concept, but both are really confusing still yet compared to what I’m use to from SVN.

I created a new git by going into the new Laravel install folder and typed: “git init” . From the app, I was then able to publish.  The app created the new repository.  Then I started with my first minor update.  I created a branch and change the first view.  I’m wiring this a few minutes after and I still can’t tell you how I did it.  I then uploaded the changes to the master at Git.  I then created a second branch that I will plan on making additional changes today.  I will try to update the master nightly as practice.

I installed Git, but ran into an idea or concept of running Laravel front-end and WordPress backend for users to add/edit content.  I searched and found that people were trying this.  But then I ran into a new CMS built on Laravel: PyroCMS.  I then spent nearly 2 hours trying to get the version 3 beta up an running.  I’m still stuck trying got install it homestead but cant get around the it not connecting to a database (sqlite) in homestead.  Arrrg.  I was trying to get SQLite, but then switched to MySQL… and surprisingly was easy just login to the database from “homestead ssh”.  I had to create a new database for PyroCMS.
