The source code for D4core is maintained in and SVN repository. I have found it helpful to create a .cleanup and .commit Bash script in the root directory of our framework’s repository.
.cleanup has the task of removing cached files, temporary files, and log files which are no longer relevant to the current development cycle. It also use it currently to reformat our XML configuration file with pretty whitespace using xmllint.
#!/bin/bash
echo "Cleaning D4core..."
rm -f D4core/Content/Cache/Smarty/*
rm -f D4core/Content/Compile/Smarty/*
rm -f D4core/Content/Cache/Minify/*
rm -f D4core/Config/Backup_*
rm -f D4core/Log/Error/*
rm -f D4core/Log/Logs/*
xmllint -format D4core/Config/Config.xml -output D4core/Config/Config.xml
echo 'Running `svn status`...'
svn status
echo "Cleaning D4core completed."
.commit (which calls .cleanup initially) is responsible for managing the commit process. This file is run only after all project files have been added/removed/moved within the working copy and we are ready to commit to SVN.
#!/bin/bash
./.cleanup
svn commit
echo "D4core SVN commit complete."
By running ./.cleanup before committing code to the repository it becomes a lot easier to ensure the status and location of all files within the working copy are correct. These simply scripts easily save me 5 minutes a day in shell.
