Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer --global require webiny/github-subtree-tool ``` Running the tool ---------------- [](#running-the-tool) Just run the following command from the terminal, and follow the procedure: ``` $ cd vendor/webiny/github-subtree-tool/ $ php cli.php ``` Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) ### Configuration [](#configuration) GIT\_ACC - name of the github account that holds the repos - example: Webiny (refers to ) GIT\_REPO - name of your `master` repo - example: Framework (refers to ) GIT\_USER - your github username - should have write access to GIT\_REPO GIT\_PASS - github password for GIT\_ACC GIT\_SUBTREE - path where the subtree components are located, inside the `master` repo - example: src/Webiny/Components ### Structure and repo names [](#structure-and-repo-names) On of the most important requirements is that the component repo names match the ones inside the GIT\_SUBTREE path on the parent repo. For example: [https://github.com/Webiny/Framework/tree/master/src/Webiny/Component/\*\*Annotations](https://github.com/Webiny/Framework/tree/master/src/Webiny/Component/**Annotations)\*\* matches: [https://github.com/Webiny/\*\*Annotations](https://github.com/Webiny/**Annotations)\*\* The back story behind the tool ------------------------------ [](#the-back-story-behind-the-tool) Let's take our Webiny Framework for example. The [Framework](https://githuh.com/webiny/framework) repo consists of several components like `Storage`, `Entity`, `Mailer` and others. These components reside under the `Framework` repo inside `src/Webiny/Component`. But these components also have their own github repositories: - - - The reason for this is that this is a modular framework, meaning you can use any of the components without actually using the whole framework. And today, the best way to install a PHP component is over composer, meaning you need to have a separate repo for each of the components. We always do our development inside the `Framework` repo, meaning over time we need to sync the changes to the component repos, including creating branches, releases and updating the composer.json file. We have created this tool to automate that work. How it works ------------ [](#how-it-works) It first checks out the defined branch from your parent repository, in our case that's the `Framework` repo. Then it checks which components are contained inside that repo, under the define path, in our case that’s the `src/Webiny/Components`. After that, it checks out the component branch and copies over the changes from the parent repo. In the end, it creates the requested branch or tag, on both the component repos and the parent repo. Optionally, it can also update the composer.json files Safety ------ [](#safety) This tool communicates with your github repo, so make sure you understand what you are doing. Just to be safe, the tool will at the very end of the process ask for your confirmation to confirm that you want to push all the changes. Until that confirmation, no changes are done on the repo. Bugs and improvements --------------------- [](#bugs-and-improvements) Just report them under issues, or even better, send a pull request :) ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity13 Limited adoption so far Community14 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 87.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
