grunt-gitPull

Clone and Pull repos with Grunt

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-gitPull --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-gitPull');

The "gitPull" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named gitPull to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  gitPull: {
    set: {
      repos: [
        // array of object with relative path arrays and repo keys.
      ]
    },
  },
})

Now when running grunt gitPull the plugin will check all paths and see if there is a git repo in them. If so, it will run a git pull on that repository. If it is not present, it will run git clone with the repository specified.

Usage Example

In this example, the default options are used to do something with whatever. So if the testing file has the content Testing and the 123 file had the content 1 2 3, the generated result would be Testing, 1 2 3.

grunt.initConfig({
  gitPull: {
    example: {
      repos: [
        {
          path: ['relative', 'path'], // relative/path/
          repo: '[email protected]/myRepo.git'
        },
        {
          path: ['another', 'path'] // another/path/
          repo: '[email protected]/otherRepo.git'
        }
      ]
    },
  },
})
