A polite and human automatic project creator for vagrant boxes.
Version 0.3
This script has been created for automatically create Symfony, WordPress or even Angular2 (and more to come) projects in a Vagrant Box, by running a simple command in the terminal and answering a bunch of questions. And since command line is a bit austere, I tried to add a bit of humanity in it.
Here is what Please will do for you :
- Creating your project's folder
- Configuring the Virtual Host (e.g. my-project.dev)
- Creating a database (optional)
- Installing your framework (WordPress, Symfony, Laravel...) so you can start working quickly
First of all, you must install a great Vagrant Box, such as my slightly modified scotch.io box.
Why this box is better than an other one, you ask? Because it works. It's great enough for me.
$ git clone https://github.com/jehanf/please-box.git my-folder
$ cd my-folder
$ vagrant up
Important : for the Virtual Hosts to work properly, you must install the Vagrant Hosts Updater plugin by running this simple command :
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater
Phewww, I'm sure you are exhausted now!
Very hard, once again :
$ git clone https://github.com/jehanf/please.git
$ sudo chmod +x please/please
$ sudo mv please/please /usr/local/bin/please && sudo rm -R please
Let me just explain the last two lines :
sudo chmod +x please/please
: Makes the bash script executable.
sudo mv please/please /usr/local/bin/please && sudo rm -R please
: Moves the bash script into /usr/local/bin/ folder for easy use and remove the folder downloaded via git (now only containing the readme file you are currently reading)
First, do a small :
$ please create
to start the creation of your new project, no matter what is it, I'll only ask you a couple of questions that needs to be answered.
You can also do a simple $ please create wordpress
(or replace wordpress by the correct framework you want to use).
At the moment, only the following services are available (shorthand command) :
- Simple Custom Domain (domain)
- WordPress (wordpress)
- Symfony (symfony)
- Laravel (laravel)
- Angular2 (angular2)
- Pagekit (pagekit)
- React (react)
And the second option, very easy to understand :
$ please delete
to delete a project. Same here, a couple of questions and that's it.
Whoa! It's finished!
please --version
: Display current version (that was highly unexpected.) and tells you if an update is available.
