Dandelion

Incremental Git repository deployment.

Install

Ensure that Ruby >= 2.0.0 is installed, then run:

$ gem install dandelion

You may need to install pkg-config and cmake before installing Dandelion. They're likely available in your OS package manager. For example:

$ brew install pkg-config cmake

or

$ apt-get install pkg-config cmake

You may also need to install the Ruby headers if you're using a version of Ruby installed by your OS package manager (ruby-dev on Debian, ruby-all-dev on Ubuntu).

Config

Configuration options are specified in a YAML file (by default, the root of your Git repository is searched for a file named dandelion.yml).

Example:

adapter: sftp
host: example.com
username: user
password: pass
path: path/to/deployment

exclude:
    - .gitignore
    - dandelion.yml
    - dir/

additional:
    - config/auth.yml

Required:

• adapter (alias: scheme, the file transfer adapter)

Optional:

• path (relative path from root of remote file tree, defaults to the root)
• local_path (relative path from root of local repository, defaults to repository root)
• exclude (list of files or directories to exclude from deployment, if local_path is set files are relative to that path)
• additional (additional list of files from your working directory that will be deployed)
