git courses import/export instructions?

[Pierre Mailhot]

I have been asked to implement in our Open edX instance the use of import / export courses from Git.

I've added 

"ENABLE_EXPORT_GIT": true,

in cms.env.json

In lms.env.json, I added

    "GIT_REPO_DIR": "/edx/var/edxapp/course_repos",

but noticed there already was

    "GITHUB_REPO_ROOT": "/edx/var/edxapp/data",

Can someone tell me the difference between these two entries? Especially since there are already empty directories for each courses under /edx/var/edxapp/data.

Thanks for any information.

Regards,

Pierre

GITHUB_REPO_ROOT is an older setting that is unrelated to git import/export.  I believe it relates to the original XMLModuleStore and determines where the course directory is placed: https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/commit/6bf0e093bc5a4520f48bebab14ad8c39ece51f6e appears to be where it was added.  For newer module stores it just creates an empty folder with the name of the course.
