Gitify
======

[](#gitify)

The goal of Gitify is to provide a **two-way sync** of data typically stored in the MODX database, making it versionable with Git. To do this, it creates a representation of MODX objects in files. These files follow a certain [human and machine friendly format](https://gist.github.com/Mark-H/5acafdc1c364f70fa4e7), built from a block of YAML, followed by a separator, and then the main content (if there's a specific content field) below that.

The project configuration, which determines what data is written to file and build to the database, is stored in a `.gitify` file in the project root.

Upgrading to v2
---------------

[](#upgrading-to-v2)

Gitify v2 brings updated dependencies, additional functionality, and easier installation/updates via Composer.

The data file structure is unchanged, so you can safely update to v2.

1. To upgrade **with the intention of contributing to Gitify**, you can keep your exiting git installation.
    1. Bring it up to date with the master branch (`git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/master`, or `git fetch upstream && git reset --hard upstream/master`)
    2. Install updated dependencies (`composer install`)
    3. Update your `$PATH` to point to the `bin` directory. This may be in your `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.zshrc` file.
2. To upgrade **simply to use Gitify**, it's recommended to remove the v1 git-based installation completely, and instead install Gitify globally with Composer as described in the installation section below.

**Important to know:**

- Gitify v2 is now compatible with Gitify Watch v2. Make sure you've upgraded to the latest version.
- The minimum PHP version has been increased to 7.2.5.
- `Gitify` has changed to `gitify` and is now in a /bin subdirectory.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer global require modmore/gitify:^2
```

If that does not make `gitify` available on your path, add the output of `composer global config bin-dir --absolute` to your path (i.e. in the `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.zshrc` file on Mac/Linux).

To update, use `composer global update modmore/gitify`.

Alternatively, you can install Gitify local to a project with `composer require modmore/gitify:^2`. In that case you'll need to use `vendor/bin/gitify` as the command.

When installing an alpha/dev version, if you haven't modified your global composer config before, it's possible you'll get an error message pertaining to your minimum-stability setting. (Composer defaults to stable, and we want an unstable version!) To fix this, you'll need to set your global minimum stability with the following command:

```
composer global config minimum-stability alpha

```

### Manual Installation

[](#manual-installation)

Use the manual installation to build from source, useful if you intend to help make Gitify better.

```
$ git clone https://github.com/modmore/Gitify.git Gitify
$ cd Gitify
$ composer install --no-dev
$ chmod +x bin/gitify
```

Please see [the Installation documentation](https://docs.modmore.com/en/Open_Source/Gitify/Installation/index.html) for more details.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

[Check the modmore Gitify documentation!](https://docs.modmore.com/en/Open_Source/Gitify/index.html) It contains information about the available commands and the way you would go about setting up a suitable workflow.

Please feel free to contribute to the wiki by editing existing pages, or adding new pages with extra information not covered elsewhere yet.

Changes &amp; History
---------------------

[](#changes--history)

Gitify adheres to [semver](http://semver.org). As we are before v1 right now, expect breaking changes and refactorings before the API stabilises.

For changes, please see the commit log or the [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md).
