Using a git submodule command in your yii project ¶
I'm developing a web project for a company using Yii framework. We are using a git vcs in our development process. We like to use Yii extensions. But only if they are good.
We are chossing an extension very carefully. If we don't like its code or something else, we don't use it. And last time someone noticed, that we are using only extensions from (un)official github yii extensions repo . But we still need a solution how to use that repositoires independently from our project ?
git submodule add https://github.com/yiiext/with-related-behavior ./protected/extensions/
This command will add an extension repository under our project extension folder. And any other extension from github (un)official yii extension repo you can add to your project git repo easy. Then when another coder cloned your repo his extension folders will be empty. He needs to type ~~~ git submodule update --init --recursive ~~~ And then extensions will appear in his repo too.
very nice feature. You can read more about it on Progit
Git init in one command
Hello, RusAlex.
This is very usable for updating third party extensions.
You may init all submodule in one command:
git submodule update --init --recursive
yiiext isn't official
yiiext isn't official repository. The difference is that we're working as a team on it and we have a bit stricter rules for these.
not best way
The way you add the extension is not recommendable. you should use a subdirectory under /protected/extensions and far better also to add it under yiiext:
git submodule add https://github.com/yiiext/with-related-behavior ./protected/extensions/yiiext/with-related-behavior
I will create best practise pages under yiiext wiki on github soon.
git submodule foreach git pull
May be also a useful command.
