Docker Container Development and Usage

Development Notes

Create a docker branch starting from the development branch.

This is a personal reference for how I created the docker branch, from the development branch.

This will allow me to focus solely on docker container development within the confines of it's own branch.

Eventually I'll merge this into the master and release branches, or perhaps spawn this into a separate repo, but for now, I'll dedicate a single 'docker' branch.

Disclaimer: I suck at git. SourceTree made me lazy. Go F&^* yourself.

git clone git@github.com:sodonnell/rssbot2.git
cd rssbot2
git checkout development
git branch docker
git push origin docker
