thehilkiah/project-installer

Installation package for all your composer specific projects.

Overview

This package, 'project-installer' is created to easy the process of creating a new git repository from the command-line. Sometimes these git repositories are not submited to Packagist, so you can't really run those using composer require. This will make it easy to do so, _(*1)

Requirements

To use this command you need to have composer installed on your machine. Instructions are here: https://getcomposer.org/download/, _(*2)

Also, although not required, since you are dealing with git, it is best to use Git-Bash for these commands, especially if you are running Windows. To download, head over to https://git-scm.com/, _(*3)

Installation

At the command prompt type (or just copy and paste the line):, _(*4)

    composer global require thehilkiah/project-installer dev-master --prefer-source

This will install the "inst" command on the composer global space. When prompted follow the instructions to complete., _(*5)

!!!IMPORTANT!!!

After installation, go to lib/packages and add all repositories you wish to run using this command, _(*6)

Usage

Just type the following command to start the cloning process:, _(*7)

   inst

If you wish to specify a directory to speed things up just replace <dir> below with the name of the directory you wish to clone your new repository into., _(*8)

    inst <dir>

By default, this command will first check if there is a newer version of this install and automatically install it. To skip this processs, you can issue a skip flag to the command to skip updating, _(*9)

    inst <dir> --skip

Or, in short,, _(*10)

    inst <dir> -s

Other flags you can use are:, _(*11)

   --help, or -h            show this page, or a help section for this 'skw' command
   --default or -d          run 'inst' command faster, using all the defaults at each prompt
