# Using the "What's cooking" scripts outside of Git 2 messages from 2009-01-26 to 2009-01-26. Participants: R. Tyler Ballance, Junio C Hamano. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/17378 ## R.

Our repo is laid out slightly different, there's no "next" branch but there are a number of "in development" branches that get folded down into master. Any tips would be appreciated Cheers -- -R.

UTSL, it's all open source ;-) It is generated by the toolchain I check out in Meta/ directory from the 'todo' branch of git.git. Of interest would be - git-topic.perl -- this lists the topics with their doneness. It unfortunately heavily depends on my workflow to have one stable ('next') and one wilder ('pu') test integration branches, and convention to name the topics as ??/?*. - WC -- this produces and helps me maintain "What's cooking". It calls git-topic.perl to generate the list, and optionally calls UWC to merge the new one with the previous issue. - UWC -- this reads the last issue of "What's cooking", and uses the output from git-topic.perl to update it. It primarily is needed because the order topics are output from git-topic.perl is different from how I want to have them listed in "What's cooking", and reads the last issue to classify each topics into the same category as they appeared in it. - WI -- this gives "What's in" and should be straightforward. ```
