Git Diff Build Script

Summary:

A shell script to create "deploy" and "restore" folders based off of a git diff of 2 branches.

Instructions (running from bash):

1. Open up a shell terminal, and make a new directory:

   mkdir new_folder

2. Now move to that directory:

   cd new_folder

3. Checkout the project from git:

   git clone git://github.com/skratchdot/Git-Diff-Build-Script.git

4. Now move to the build directory:

   cd Git-Diff-Build-Script/build/

5. Run the shell script:

   git_diff_build.sh

6. When prompted, enter the following information:

   Input the name of the build directory: my_build Input the name of the source/deployment branch: origin/dev Input the name of the destination/restore branch: origin/prod

7. Now the "DEPLOY" and "RESTORE" directories have been created. Check them out:

   cd my_build ls -la

Instructions (running from Eclipse/Ant):

1. Make sure you have Eclipse with eGit installed. Clone the following repository:

   git://github.com/skratchdot/Git-Diff-Build-Script.git

NOTE: instructions for eGit are found here:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#Starting_from_existing_Git_Repositories

2. Once the project is checked out in Eclipse, expand the "build" directory.

3. Open the git_diff_build.xml file. Make sure "bash" property is set correctly, and save the file:

   Win32: Win64: UNIX:

4. Now you can run the ant build. For the "Eclipse Refresh" to work properly, you need to run the build in the same JRE as Eclipse. To do this:

   a) right-click on the "git_diff_build.xml" file. b) Choose "Run As"->"External Tools Configurations". c) In the new window that pops open, click on the "JRE" tab. d) Click the radio button: "Run in the same JRE as the workspace". e) Now click the "RUN" button.
