Symlink a file from git_repo working copy #58

Closed gildesmarais closed 10 years ago

gildesmarais commented 10 years ago

I'm using a ZSH theme (https://github.com/jeremyFreeAgent/oh-my-zsh-powerline-theme) for my oh-my-zsh setup. I set up the git_repo passenger to pull the repo.

A file needs to be executed afterwards to symlink the theme-file (similarly to #57). Not every repository I check out contains such an install script, so it would be nice to be able to symlink the file automatically.

How can this be achieved?

Would my fix in #57 solve this as well?

gildesmarais commented 10 years ago

Your fix will solve it if the git_repo passenger is executed before the (to be created) shell passenger. As far as I can see the order is determined by the passenger array in the user's packages.yml, so it should work out.

Yep, the order is determined in the passenger and I think git_repo should be the first one to be executed.

Closing this issue as the problem can now be solved with the Shell passenger.
