moodle-project

This is a project template for installing Moodle as a git submodule and all add-ons (plugins) as composer dependencies

This means that the Moodle core can also be managed as a git submodule, and all add-ons (plugins) can be managed with a single composer.json file located in the project root.

Getting started with a new Moodle site

Prerequisites are command line access to Git and Composer.

Change the your_project in the following commands to the name of your project.

1. Clone the template from git git clone https://github.com/fedorsimakov/moodle-project your_project (or use the repository as a template for a new repository)
2. Go to the cloned directory cd your_project
3. Change url "origin" repository to url of your repository git remote set-url origin https://github.com/your_username/your_project
4. Make a new project specific git branch git checkout -b your_project-branch
5. Set the desired branch to install Moodle in the .gitmodules file
6. Install Moodle core with git submodule init and git submodule update --remote
7. Install composer/installers package with composer install
8. Install the required plugins from the repository https://moodleplugarit.mmg.fi and the local repository (local-repository) using the command composer require <vendor>/<plugin_name>
9. Index all added and modified files git add .
10. Commit the changes to git git commit -m "init your_project"
