Development Notes

Developed using Visual Studio Community Edition. Use nuget to obtain dependencies.

Configuration files

We omit certain configuration files from source control. The solution will not compile without these files. Our WaterUsage.config repo provides an example of each required file, with the required settings and sample values. The sample values should be replaced with your settings in order to run the solution locally.

One time, by hand

Copy and paste each file, as-is, into the corresponding directory in your local copy of this repository.

Automagic, with tracking

Add a remote pointing to the sample config repository (we'll call it config)

$ git remote add config https://github.com/CityofSantaMonica/WaterUsage.config

Fetch the latest history (with output)

$ git fetch config
warning: no common commits
remote: Counting objects: N, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (N/N), done.
remote: Total N (delta X), reused Y (delta Z)
Unpacking objects: 100% (N/N), done.
From github.com:CityofSantaMonica/waterusage.config
 * [new branch]      master -> config/master

Finally, a bit of git magic: pack the necessary folders/files into an archive then immediately unpack them into the repo root

$ git archive --format=tar config/master | tar xf -
