• Installation
• Usage
• Documentation
• Contributing

Git must be installed and its bin directory must be included in PATH variable.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'git_repo_upgrader'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install git_repo_upgrader

At best create a new rake task containing a options hash and then run #upgrade.

See the examples below for option hashes.

    options = {
        repo: {
            uri: 'https://github.com/username/project.git',
            branch: 'develop',
        },
        files_to_copy: {
            'dist/app.bundle.js' => 'web/js/lib/project/app.bundle.js',
            'dist/app.bundle.css' => 'web/js/lib/project/app.bundle.css',
            # copy a whole directory recursively
            'dist/img' => 'web/js/lib/project/img',
        },
        commit: 'prompt' # 'prompt' by default, other options: 'false','auto'
    }
    GitRepoUpgrader.upgrade options
