7.6-Starter-Kit

This Github project is solely used to manage the final build of the Starter Kit and is not meant to be used as the Starter kit itself.

TODO: We need to merge this repo: https://github.com/umbraco/Starterkit-TheUmbracoCommunity into this one and remove the css/js one, they should exist in this one only.

You can find the Starter Kit as the default option in Umbraco 7.6.4+ as well as in the package repository on Our Umbraco.

Don't use the website in this project, but instead ask to be a part of this Umbraco Cloud project: https://umbraco-starter-kit.s1.umbraco.io

Building the package

The build script is: /build/build.ps1 run it in the powershell cli: .\build\build.ps1

It will prompt you for the version number and pre-release. Example, enter 1.0.0 for the build number and if it's a pre-release enter beta-01 (be sure to enter the hyphen prefix). If it's not a pre-release just press enter to skip that step.

The package output will be /build/Releases/(VersionNumber)/Umbraco.SampleSite.zip

Maintaining the package

If changes are made to the package, the package manifest file will need to be updated:

  • Save the package in the back office - this will update the /App_Data/packages/created/createdPackages.config
  • Publish the package in the back office and press the download button to download the .zip file
  • Open the zip file and find the package.xml file, copy it's contents to the /build/packageManifest.xml file
