Rails SVN Configuration Generator
Rails makes it easy to start a new application. At the same time, importing a new project into Subversion is not that simple—there are quite few files that should be ignored.
This generator adds a couple of rake commands to help with subversion.
- rake svn:configure—configure svn:ignore properties of the project. It will set svn:ignore properties to ignore tmp/cache/, tmp/sessions/, tmp/sockets/, log/, db/schema.db, config/lighttpd.conf files. This command must be run after project is imported into svn repository.
- rake svn:add—adds new files to subversion repository.
Instructions:
1. Install svn_conf generator
gem install --source http://dist.agilewebsolutions.com svn_conf_generator
(Or, as of 2006.05.29)gem install svn_conf_generator
2. Generate svn_conf in a new rails project (not imported into svn)
./script/generate svn_conf
3. Run svn:configure task to create .cvsignore files
rake svn:configure
NOTE: It is also recommended to change your ~/.subversion/config file to set global-options (Subversion Config Docs) property to something like:
global-ignores=*.log *.html-gzip-* .DS_Store
