Yii With Git

[acemi (Erayalakese)]

As you know

yiic webapp test git

command creates a test application with git related files (.gitignore etc.)

But created my application with

yiic webapp test

, because of this, i don’t have git files. I will use git, now, is there a command for creating git related files (.gitignore, .gitkeep etc.) for my already created test application?

If there isn’t, i’ll create a new app with

yiic webapp test git

, and then copy my protected directory from old to new app.

How about just running a ‘git init && touch .gitignore’ in the directory?

I didn’t know that Yii now generates a git repo when you pass the ‘git’ argument.

It’s creating custom .gitignore and .gitkeep files for Yii. But ‘touch .gitignore’ creates an empty .gitignore file, i will have to fill it manually.

Application generator described above also supports creation of files needed by Git version control system. The following command would create necessary .gitignore (e.g. content of the assets and runtime shouldn’t be tracked) and .gitkeep (forces tracking of initially empty but important directories) files:

% YiiRoot/framework/yiic webapp WebRoot/testdrive git

You could take a look at the code for the command which performs the ‘git’ step

I need to update my own copy of Yii - it’s in yii/framework/cli/commands/WebAppCommand.php I guess.

You could just copy the relevant code into a new command class - named GitifyCommand maybe? and use it to add git to existing projects.
