A small shell script to bake a new CakePHP project, initialize it as a git repository, and install the cake core as its submodule.
https://github.com/tkyk/cakephp-git-starter
- CakePHP 2.x
- Git >= 1.5.3
- *NIX environment (which, wget, sed, etc.)
$ ./cakephp_git_starter.sh /path/to/new_project 2.0.6
# This will build the following directory structure:
# /path/to/new_project
# + app
# + Controller
# + Model
# + ...
# + cakephp (managed as a submodule and refering to 2.0.6)
# + lib
# + app
# + vendors
# + ...
The newly created directory has been initialized as a git repository, so you are ready to make a first commit to it.
$ cd /path/to/new_project
$ git status
$ git commit -m 'Initial commit'
A shortcut script to the cake shell is created in bin/.
$ ./bin/cake bake database
If you want to switch the cake core versions, checkout the appropriate tag in the submodule.
$ cd /path/to/new_project/cakephp
$ git checkout 2.1.0-beta
This script runs as follows:
- Clones the official cakephp repository into ~/.submodule-cakephp
- Checks out the specified tag in (1)
- Invokes
bake project $project_path/app - Initializes $project_path as a git repository
- Adds the official cakephp repository as a submodule located in $project_path/cakephp
- Checks out the specified tag in (5)
- Updates app/webroot/{index,test}.php to correct CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH
- Adds empty files so that git can hold the app/ directory structure
- Creates .gitignore, bin/cake, etc.
At the second time or later, it skips the (1) step and executes git pull instead.
