How to Git-Ignore Symlinks on a Magento Module installed by composer
Pergunta
I install modules using composer.phar
.
This creates symlinks files in publichtml/app/code/community
(for example) with a target to vendor/themodule...
.
In my .gitignore
I excluded the vendor directory - but the links would of course still end up in the git.
Is there an easy way to automically exclude those links? (other than adding everything manually to the .gitignore)
I have to say that I have some require-dev
modules which should not end up on the final server - so having those links there would be at least not so nice.
Solução
The best I came up with was running this after an composer install/update
$ find * -type l -not -exec grep -q "^{}$" .gitignore \; -print >> .gitignore
The command should be run in the git root directory. It adds all symlinks to the .gitignore file that aren't in there already.
Outras dicas
This method only adds untracked symlinks so can be repeated without adding duplicate entries, symlinks that are in submodules or are otherwise already ignored, or intentionally tracked symlinks.
for f in $(git status --porcelain | grep '^??' | sed 's/^?? //'); do
test -L "$f" && echo $f >> .gitignore;
test -d "$f" && echo $f\* >> .gitignore;
done
Nowadays there is an option for this in the composer installer. Just set extra.auto-add-files-to-gitignore https://github.com/magento-hackathon/magento-composer-installer/blob/master/README.md#auto-add-files-to-gitignore
The combined solution of @ColinM and @Vinai that works for me
for f in $(git status --porcelain | grep '^??' | sed 's/^?? //'); do
if test -L "$f"
then
test -L "$f" && echo $f >> .gitignore;
elif test -d "$f"
then
find ${f%/} -type l -not -exec grep -q "^{}$" .gitignore \; -print >> .gitignore
fi
done
