Blog post: Migrating Drupal 7 to Drupal 9 with Acquia Migrate: Accelerate (AM:A) #145
Conversation

Oh, one other thing, could you please change the main blog filename, which becomes the URL, to be distinct words, maybe drupal7-drupal9-migration-ddev-acquia-migrate-accelerate.md ? |

And "just" is not allowed because I just always overuse it, sorry, https://github.com/ddev/ddev.com/actions/runs/6908030499/job/18796913683?pr=145 |

I am working to fix all of these issues in a new branch. I will close this PR and resubmit soon. |
|
You don't have to do that at all - you can just push commits in here :) Let me know if you want me to reopen. |

Honestly, I'm still learning my way around Github. Shockingly, I've made it 20 years without really needing or using git. My repo is a bit gnarly at the moment. I'm working to clean it up and apply best practices, so I created a new branch for the blog post. I'll merge it back to main and resubmit. |

Git is an absolute delight when you understand it. I'm happy to help you sort things out, ping me in Discord or whatever.

Thanks, I think I've fixed it per your guidance. This pull request now shows only the added files related to the blog post. |

@RowboTony Github has some free self-paced courses at https://skills.github.com/ which are helpful. |

Thanks for all the great work! I'm hoping to be able to review this week. |

Basically I think this is ready to go with minor alterations.
Questions people will ask:
- Did you get past the 80% level? What's your path for that?
- How can people contribute to this? Obviously they can do PRs to edit this, but do you want to have a GitHub repo or something to refer people to?

I didn't even know this existed. Always use exit or <ctrl-d> - Learn something every day!

I remember being taught that logout was the best practice back in the days of the SunOS systems I was working on decades ago, and it's stuck with me since. 😁

Not yet, the site has been in stasis for a few weeks, no progress beyond the walkthrough. I'm working next on learning D9/D10 theming to finish and deploy this site. The 80% I'm referring to is to total completion of the site to production. 100% by my definition would include; a complete new theme, themed page layouts, and new Views. It may be better if I provide clarification that 98% of the data was migrated with AM:A, and only 75% of the data was migrated with the D10 traditional method? Theme, Views, and pages layouts will need to be recreated in both scenarios regardless of migration method.
I think the best canonical source would be DDEV.com for anyone to PR and update the blog post. Considering my inexperience with git, I don't think I'd be a very good steward of a repo as I planned to delete my |

I will appreciate you maintaining it as time goes on. I was saying that people will want to know in the article where you actually got to, and what your plans are (and maybe you can update this as you get farther). As you know, "80%" is a calamity in the software world because it only takes 20% of the time to get 80% complete, and the other 20% takes 80% of the time :) Is it possible to share a link to the work-in-progress, or is it not live? I dearly wish I had time right now to go through this with my own Drupal7 blog, randyfay.com I'll pull this when you say it's ready. |
I'm happy to update this as I learn more. But it's a bit of a chicken and egg situation. I'm certain that with a few more days of tinkering I can get this to work with D10, but I don't know when I'll have those days available to work on it. Also, I have a sense that many people don't yet know the power of this tool - so hopefully as the blog post gets out it can bring in others who can contribute to the direct to D10 path.
Very good point, I added a Next Steps closing prahraph to address this.
Sorry, it's not live anywhere yet.

Were you calling it ready? |
Yes, it's ready. Please publish at your convenience. This was a great experience. Thank you again for the encouragement and support! |

Yay, thanks so much! |
