modgit currently doesn't handle the globbing supported in modman files.

e.g. https://github.com/rjocoleman/Magento-Cloud-Backup/blob/master/modman Strange things happen around subfolders, see backup.php (a folder) and backup.php.php (the original file).

Cloning into an empty folder using default syntax:

$ mkdir test && cd test
$ modgit init
Initialized Module Git at /Users/robert/Code/test
$ modgit clone cloud-backup git://github.com/rjocoleman/Magento-Cloud-Backup.git

Why, when I modified ./.modgit/module/source/app/module/controller.php, and did modgit update-all It’s not updated in ./app/module/controller.php ?

(and vice versa)

try update a module and this error message

modgit update module_category

Already up-to-date.
You need to run this command from the toplevel of the working tree.
/usr/local/bin/modgit: line 280: [: -eq: unary operator expected
Error updating module_category, operation cancelled.

Hi jreinke, I use your script for deploying repos as part of a hand-rolled magento deployment system. The only downside is that when updating for a small fix that only affects a few files, all files are removed and then added back. When a repo has many thousands of files it can take a while and feels a bit heavy-handed for a minor patches.

I thought that it might be possible to generate a 'changelist' of Add, Modify and Deletes and just work with those files instead - copying files marked with "M" or "A", after removing files marked with "D". This modification does that. Please forgive any awful bash mistakes - it is not something I know. I've tested this modification and it seems to work well. It certainly makes things quick! Please check it out.

Thanks, Adrian.

modgit removes a changed file instead of reverting the changes on it. Is that an expected behavior?

I installed modgit and then attempted to install a couple modules. Checking the backend, nothing is there. Looking at /app/etc/modules I see the module file listed at My_Module.xml?. Also, checking some of the paths under /app/community/ some of the directories also append a ? on the end of the name.

Is this a known issue? I'm on a pretty standard Ubuntu/Trusty64 box.

This seems to work with a single website but not with multi-websites.

website1.com -> website1.com/website1/ website2.com -> website2.com/website2/

With your module everything redirects to website1.com

it should be

website1.com -> website1.com website2.com -> website2.com

I was reading a magento book when I found this

Sounds simple - and even more simple than modman -

Is this code still maintained? (before we make the change to this method)

This is really just a minor detail, but it will reduce adoption of this great utility!

"Deploy multiple Git repositories in an unique folder" should instead read: "Deploy multiple Git repositories in a unique folder"

http://wordwhirled.blogspot.com/2005/12/unique-or-unique.html

If a module contains a modman file containing filters like "*{something}", files that match that filter are not deployed in move_files().

The problem happens when the modman file’s filter expression ends with “{something}”, like “app/etc/modules/.xml”.

Line 337 of modgit is:

line=”${line/*/}” # remove * char

Which means the comparison on line 339 of:

if [[ "$file" =~ ^$1 ]]

will fail in these cases as it will evaluate to something like:

if [[ "app/etc/local.xml.phpunit" =~ "app/etc/modules/.xml" ]]
