grunt-transbrute

Publish project files using Git.

The goal of this plugin is to simplify the use of Git as a transport channel for publishing files from your project to the web. An example use case would be publishing documentation sources that live in the same repository as your project's code to the web using GitHub Pages.

transbrute creates a throwaway Git repository, adds those parts of your project that you specified, and pushes them to the remote repository you specified.

Build Status

Getting Started

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-transbrute --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-transbrute');

The "transbrute" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named transbrute to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  transbrute: {
    target: {
      message: 'Add foo on %DATE',
      remote: 'git@github.com:you/foo.git',
      branch: 'target-branch',
      tag: '0.1.3',
      tagMessage: 'Release 0.1.3',
      pull: true,
      force: false,
      files: [
        { src: '**/*', expand: true, cwd: 'docs/' },
        { dest: 'relative_path', body: 'str' },
        { dest: 'relative_path_2', body: {a: 1} }
      ]
    },
  },
})

Target Options

remote

Type: String

The URI for the remote repository. Required.

branch

Type: String

The name of the remote branch. Required.

message

Type: String Default value: 'Add <TARGET_NAME> from <TIMESTAMP>'

The commit message to use. An occurrence of %DATE in the string will be replaced by the current timestamp in ISO format.

tag

Type: String

If a tag identifier is given, the commit will be tagged before being pushed. Can be combined with tagMessage.

tagMessage

Type: String

If in addition to a tag identifier a tag message is given, the tag will be annotated with this message.If tag is not provided, tagMessage will be ignored.

pull

Type: Boolean Default value: true

If true, contents of the remote repository will be pulled before files are processed and committed.

force

Type: Boolean Default value: false

If true, the commit will be force-pushed.

files

Type: Array

A list of files to use. You can specify files that are actually present in the filesystem in the usual Grunt way, but you should set the cwd option to the directory from which the files have relative paths that equal those you want them to have in the repository.

Additionally, you can add files inline by giving their relative path within the repository as dest and specifying their body as body. body can either be a string, which will be written to the file, or a JSON-serializable object, which will first be pretty-printed using JSON.stringify and then written to the file.

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
