Project updater

Automating your painfully crafted update routines. Created for updating my django projects, could be used otherwise. Contains a helper for migrating from south to django migrations (south2django).

Install

pip install -e git+https://github.com/benzkji/project-updater

Usage

project_updater

For bigger updates, you would probably create a branch update-xy. Start your update work. At every step where you need some shell scripts executet, create a tag, for example update-xy-1. In your project dir, have a folder update-xy, therein, place a file update-xy-1.sh. This shell script will be executed in the automated udpate process.

cd to_your_project_root
project_updater --name=update-7.2

What it does:

Get all git tags that start with update-7.2
For every tag found, execute it's script if available (update-name/tagname.sh)
If there is a break file found, execution is aborted, for manual hands on (update-name/tagname.break)
If at startup, the current tag name matches a tag in the tag list, execution will start right after

Options:

--name TEXT          Name of your update and folder where we'll look for shell scripts. Example: update-4.7.   [required]
--tag-prefix TEXT    Prefix of your update tags. If empty, name is used. Example: update-4.7-
--project-path TEXT  Root path of project, if not `.`
--start-after TEXT   Start after this step/tag.
--silent TEXT        Always yes, no breaks.
