Repo rename: frontend-app-course-authoring -> frontend-app-authoring

Development

Hey devs and site operators,

To reflect how the repo has grown to encompass all Open edX Studio pages, frontend-app-course-authoring has been renamed to frontend-app-authoring. More details and rationale here.

Thanks to GitHub’s robust URL redirection mechanism, frontend-app-course-authoring should seamlessly redirect to frontend-app-authoring forever, so no action is required at this time. For the sake of clarity, though, you might choose to update your git refs regardless.

In Tutor-MFE, the frontend app is still called course-authoring for now, but we are considering renaming it to authoring so that it matches the new repo name. If you have an opinion on that, feel free to weigh in here: Rename `course-authoring` -> `authoring`? · Issue #224 · overhangio/tutor-mfe · GitHub. If that change goes through, it would be listed as a breaking change in the next major Tutor release.

This change has landed in Tutor-MFE Nightly , and it will be part of Tutor-MFE v19 (Sumac). HTTP 301 redirects are provided as to keep backwards compatibility with /course-authoring/ URLs.

Frontend developers who bind-mount the authoring MFE: If your tutor-mfe checkout is older than this this commit, then the folder must be named frontend-app-course-authoring. If it newer then that commit, then the folder must be named frontend-app-authoring. When switching from one repo name to the other, un-mount the folder and then re-mount it:

tutor mounts remove path/to/frontend-app-course-authoring
mv path/to/frontend-app-course-authoring path/to/frontend-app-authoring
tutor mounts add path/to/frontend-app-authoring
