It takes the template found in [drupal-project](https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project) and automagically applies it to ypur site. Just add the *GoComposer* Plug-in to your project, invoke one command and let this Plug-in do the rest... The aim of this Plug-in is to morph all drupal 8 installation into a universal defualt template. *Having your Drupal 8 installation modified to this template will simplify future Drupal 8 Core & Contrib Modules updates. It's highly recommended you switch to this template* > ## Intended Audience > > [](#intended-audience) > If you current Project is a Drupal 8 site with one of the following Scenarios, then *GoComposer* is your one stop solution: > - Scenario 1: You have installed your site initially through Composer using the `drupal/drupal` deprecated package. > - Scenario 2: You have installed your site initially from a `tar.gz` or `zip` file. > - Scenario 3: You have installed your site using `git clone` from the `Drupal.org` main repo. Pre-requisites -------------- [](#pre-requisites) > - It's highly recommended to implement this update on your local environment then update your production site > - You have to have access to the bash shell command line to run this Plug-in. On Mac just use `Terminal`. On Windows 10, it's recomended to install the [Ubuntu Bash shell](https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-ubuntu-on-windows#0) > - You have to have Composer installed globally on your local environment, If you haven't already done so, follow the instructions [here to download the executbale](https://getcomposer.org/download/) and [here to add it to your path](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally) Features -------- [](#features) Running the `gocomposer` Command will automate the process of Updating your existing custom site to the latest and greatest Drupal 8 version. The 'gocomposer' Command will do the following: - Backup Your Existing Site files and Database and place them in the newly created `backup` folder at your Project Root. - Download the latest template from the [drupal-project](https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project), Place it in a temporary folder - Extract the `template.composer.json` which is then populated with your existing site dependencies and then save it as your new `composer.json` file in your project root - Modify your whole sites folder structure to the new format. Moving the following directories to the new `/web` docroot: - `/core` - `/sites` - `/libraries` - `/profiles` - `/modules` - `/themes` - Updates your `Drupal Core` & `Contrib Modules` to the latest current version while preserving your existing project dependencies. - Automatically save your Current environment variables to `.env` in the Project root outside the `/web` docroot for increased security and future compatibility. - Automatically update your `settings.php` to pull in the Environment Variables from the `.env` file created above. The old `setting.php` file will be saved as `settings_orig.php` in your project root. - Automatically updates `Drupal Scaffolding` files such as `index.php`, `update.php`, `robots.txt`, etc to the latest version. - Runs final clean up scripts that finalize the modifications including updating your database.
