lazyCA

The script is written with the intention of simplifying the "Github pull -> copy selected files -> Gitlab" push process.

Requirements

This script requires that you are running at least Node version 10.12.0 - the { recursive: true } option in the call to fs.mkdir requires it.

Use

File structure

lazyCA should be placed in a root-level scripts/ directory - the overall file structure should look like:

- COLNYC201809FSF2/
	- .gitignore
	- 01-Class-Content/
	- scripts/
		- lazyCA/

Replicate this file structure when testing locally, though the top-level directory does not need to be named 'COLNYC201809FSF2'.

.gitignore

The .gitignore file in the root directory will be modified by this script. However, the basic contents of the file should be:

# Static content
##################################################################
**/gradingRubrics/*

# Dynamic content
##################################################################
# Ignore directories with 'Solutions' or 'Solved' in the file path
**/Solutions/*
**/Solved/*

# Ignore solution files
solved

Run it

To run the script, use the command node index.js and provide values for the -gh and -c options -

-gh is the absolute file path to your local clone of the Github repo.
-ct is shorthand for 'commit type', and takes either content or solutions, depending on the kind of material that's to be committed and pushed.

For example

node index.js -gh /Users/darrenklein/Desktop/FullStack-Lesson-Plans -ct content
node index.js -gh /Users/darrenklein/Desktop/FullStack-Lesson-Plans -ct solutions

-ct content

Running the script with -ct content will check the current state of the Gitlab repo and copy over the course material for the coming week from the Github repo, sans solution files. Typically, we'll want to run this script on Saturdays, pushing out the course material for the coming week; it will avoid pushing solution files/direcoties by uncommenting references to those in the parent's .gitignore file.

-ct solutions

Running the script with -ct solutions will check the current state of the Gitlab repo and copy over the course material for the current week from the Github repo. Typically, we'll want to run this script after Thursday's class has ended, as it will comment out references to solution files in the parent's .gitignore file, effectively adding those to the repo.

Notes

This script has been linted according to ESLint's Airbnb base configuration.
