Define a command to install customized patch

After cloning OSjs project, I need to install my patch by simply executing one command in terminal (right after installation commands).
My patch include adding or changing files, for example:

  • adding some fonts files
  • changing client index file to add some tray icon.

What is you suggestion for this functionality?

Sound like all you need is a shell script maybe ?

mahsashadi commented

By executing a script, I think all needed files for changes should be available.
I need it to be as simple as executing a command like npm.

As you said, one way is to do this:

  1. clone the osjs project
  2. place patchScript.sh file and patch_files directory (containing all files needed) in the root of osjs project --- in this way user also have to download these files from some repository.
  3. execute ./patchSrcipt.sh command
  4. execute other commands (including npm install, npm run build and npm run package:discovery)
  5. osjs with my patch is ready to use!
#!/bin/bash
# this is patchScript.sh file

mkdir src/client/typeface
cp -R patch_files/client-typeface/* src/client/typeface
cp patch_files/client-index.js src/client/index.js
cp patch_files/client-index.scss src/client/index.scss

So, is there any better way to achieve this?

Create a fork of the repo and replace anything you need.

mahsashadi commented

So how can I get the repo updates?

andersevenrud commented

This repo almost never changes. It's just a basic template project.

But if you want to get the updates, simply add a upstream remote that points to this repo in your project, then do a git merge.
