The goal of Gitify is to provide a two-way sync of data typically stored in the MODX database, making it versionable with Git. To do this, it creates a representation of MODX objects in files. These files follow a certain human and machine friendly format, built from a block of YAML, followed by a separator, and then the main content (if there's a specific content field) below that.
The project configuration, which determines what data is written to file and build to the database, is stored in a .gitify
file in the project root.
Gitify v2 brings updated dependencies, additional functionality, and easier installation/updates via Composer.
The data file structure is unchanged, so you can safely update to v2.
git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/master
, or git fetch upstream && git reset --hard upstream/master
)composer install
)$PATH
to point to the bin
directory. This may be in your ~/.bash_profile
or ~/.zshrc
file. Important to know:
Gitify
has changed to gitify
and is now in a /bin subdirectory.composer global require modmore/gitify:^2
If that does not make gitify
available on your path, add the output of composer global config bin-dir --absolute
to your path (i.e. in the ~/.bash_profile
or ~/.zshrc
file on Mac/Linux).
To update, use composer global update modmore/gitify
.
Alternatively, you can install Gitify local to a project with composer require modmore/gitify:^2
. In that case you'll need to use vendor/bin/gitify
as the command.
When installing an alpha/dev version, if you haven't modified your global composer config before, it's possible you'll get an error message pertaining to your minimum-stability setting. (Composer defaults to stable, and we want an unstable version!) To fix this, you'll need to set your global minimum stability with the following command:
composer global config minimum-stability alpha
Use the manual installation to build from source, useful if you intend to help make Gitify better.
$ git clone https://github.com/modmore/Gitify.git Gitify
$ cd Gitify
$ composer install --no-dev
$ chmod +x bin/gitify
Please see the Installation documentation for more details.
Check the modmore Gitify documentation! It contains information about the available commands and the way you would go about setting up a suitable workflow.
Please feel free to contribute to the wiki by editing existing pages, or adding new pages with extra information not covered elsewhere yet.
Gitify adheres to semver. As we are before v1 right now, expect breaking changes and refactorings before the API stabilises.
For changes, please see the commit log or the Changelog.
