Q - How to push in git with different folder structure without changing files or folder names?

โพสต์ที่ยังไม่ได้อ่าน โดย Raja Pdl »

I've installed a Joomla component and I've to update that project in git, but when I installed component, the file structure for component become

โค้ด: เลือกทั้งหมด

adminstrator/components/com_mycomponent/admin_component_folders
components/com_mycomponent/site_component_folders
api/com_mycomponent/api_component_folders
but in gitlab, the folder structure is

โค้ด: เลือกทั้งหมด

admin/admin_component_folders
site/site_component_folders
api/api_component_folders
com_mycomponent.xml
I've updated the codes and now I want to push in git, but the folder structures are not same.
I don't want to change the gitlab structure and I can't change the local structure. If I change the local structure, I can't run joomla project.

How can I push without changing the files and folders structure to related paths ?

To synchronize your local Joomla component structure with the structure in your GitLab repository, while not altering either structure, you can create a script or use symbolic links to bridge the discrepancy between the two structures. Here’s how you can do it:

### Using a Script to Adjust Structure Before Pushing

1. **Create a script** that copies your updated files from the Joomla structure to the GitLab structure before pushing.

For example, you could use a shell script (let's call it `prepare_git_structure.sh`) for this purpose:

โค้ด: เลือกทั้งหมด

bash
#!/bin/bash

# Clear the current git structure
rm -rf /path/to/git/repo/admin/*
rm -rf /path/to/git/repo/site/*
rm -rf /path/to/git/repo/api/*

# Copy updated files to the git structure
cp -r /path/to/joomla/administrator/components/com_mycomponent/* /path/to/git/repo/admin/
cp -r /path/to/joomla/components/com_mycomponent/* /path/to/git/repo/site/
cp -r /path/to/joomla/api/com_mycomponent/* /path/to/git/repo/api/

# Copy the XML file
cp /path/to/joomla/administrator/components/com_mycomponent/com_mycomponent.xml /path/to/git/repo/

echo "Files have been prepared for push to GitLab"
2. **Run the script** before committing and pushing to GitLab.

โค้ด: เลือกทั้งหมด

bash
./prepare_git_structure.sh
cd /path/to/git/repo
git add .
git commit -m "Updated components"
git push origin main
### Using Symbolic Links

Alternatively, you can use symbolic links to create a structure that Git sees as the expected structure, without duplicating files.

1. **Create the necessary symbolic links** in a directory that Git tracks.

For example, create a script called `create_symlinks.sh`:

โค้ด: เลือกทั้งหมด

bash
#!/bin/bash

# Navigate to the git repo
cd /path/to/git/repo

# Remove existing directories if they exist
rm -rf admin site api

# Create necessary directory structure
mkdir -p admin site api

# Create symbolic links
ln -s /path/to/joomla/administrator/components/com_mycomponent/* admin/
ln -s /path/to/joomla/components/com_mycomponent/* site/
ln -s /path/to/joomla/api/com_mycomponent/* api/

# Create symbolic link for the XML file
ln -s /path/to/joomla/administrator/components/com_mycomponent/com_mycomponent.xml .

echo "Symbolic links created for GitLab"
2. **Run the script** to create the symbolic links.

โค้ด: เลือกทั้งหมด

bash
./create_symlinks.sh
cd /path/to/git/repo
git add .
git commit -m "Updated components with symbolic links"
git push origin main
### Notes

- Ensure that paths used in the scripts are correct and adjusted to your actual file system paths.
- If you have any specific files that you don't want to include in the Git repository, you can modify the scripts accordingly.
- You may need to adjust file permissions to ensure the scripts can be executed: `chmod +x prepare_git_structure.sh` and `chmod +x create_symlinks.sh`.

By using either of these methods, you can push your updates to GitLab without changing the folder structure in your local Joomla installation.

You need to clone it to your pc first, then place the modified files into this folder. follow the folder structure in Git; do not change the structure
