Preparing to Work With Luggage
Page
Environments
A beginning web developer works directly on a live site. After bringing down the live site a few times or being embarrassed when unfinished work appears on the live site, the developer learns to use two environments: development and production.
Defining Servers and Websites
Page
A prerequisite to the following is having a .drush directory set up and stored in a repository; see the previous section for details.
Defining a Default Drush Aliases File
The .drush/defaults.aliases.drushrc.php file contains an alias called prod which will be the parent of all the servers we will define. Its contents:

Prerequisites
Installation requires that Drush is installed, Git is installed, and you have your database credentials (user name and password) available.
You can check whether git is already installed by typing
git --version

Philosophy
We are following the gitflow method where Master is stable and production ready. We did not start out this way but are migrating quickly to adopting this method with some alterations.

Suitcase Layout Examples
Suitcase supports a variety of page layouts. Possibilities include drag-and-drop arrangement of content into responsive columns and rows, and featuring announcements in full-width hero banners or slideshows.
Adding a Submodule with Git
Page
Sometimes you have Drupal in a git repository and you want to use a single submodule from Luggage. For example, you might have a site on which you want only the People feature.
Here is how to add a submodule to your git repository.
Conceptually
In English, you are telling your git repository that contains the code for your website where the git submodule is, so that when you type
git submodule update --init
it will automatically pull in the submodule.
Moving On
First, you add the submodule by hand:
