DMS-EASY-GIT

Usage

To clone and run this repository you'll need Git and Node.js (which comes with npm) installed on your computer.

Make sure you have met the requirements listed here: https://docs.nodegui.org/docs/guides/getting-started#developer-environment

From your command line:

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/ELDevelopero/easy-git
# Go into the repository
cd easy-git
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Run the app
npm start

In order to distribute your finished app, you can use @nodegui/packer

Step 1: (Run this command only once)

npx nodegui-packer --init MyAppName

This will produce the deploy directory containing the template. You can modify this to suite your needs. Like add icons, change the name, description and add other native features or dependencies. Make sure you commit this directory.

Step 2: (Run this command every time you want to build a new distributable)

Next you can run the pack command:

npm run build

This will produce the js bundle along with assets inside the ./dist directory

npx nodegui-packer --pack ./dist

This will build the distributable using @nodegui/packer based on your template. The output of the command is found under the build directory. You should gitignore the build directory.

More details about packer can be found here: https://github.com/nodegui/packer

Usage

This is not a full replacement for all git commands. For the app to work, your project directory must have the .git folder created and connected with GitHub, Gitlab, etc. This application is intended to replace the CLI git add ., git commit and git push commands with GUI interface. It comes with absolutely no warranty.
