Loading code from a local git repository

Hello,

I am trying to version a project on git using filetree.
Since I also have some external resources (like images), I would avoid
loading the whole project from the pharo image, because that would
download the external files in a cache directory, thus making them
difficult to reach and update.

My idea is to update the git repository from the commandline, and then
run a script to build the image.

The question then is: is there an easy way to programmatically load a
project from a local directory?

Also, do you have any suggestions for a better workflow to handle this
situation?

Thanks,
Tommaso

Re: Loading code from a local git repository

Just place the repository in a separate directory from the other stuff, like

https://github.com/svenvc/zinc

No ?

As Sven mentionned it, you can simply put your filetree files in a subdirectory.

You can have a look at https://github.com/fstephany/hello-pharo It's a bit outdated but it will give you the idea.

You can also add a makefile to build the pharo image in the git repository. I usually have a src/pharo packages build/Makefile structure.

Re: Loading code from a local git repository

Thanks for the answers, I have the code in a separate directory, my
doubt was about how to load the code without using the GUI.

The script:

gitRepository := MCFileTreeRepository new directory: (FileLocator
imageDirectory / 'src').

Gofer it
repository: gitRepository;
package: 'Hello-Pharo';
load.

taken from here:
https://github.com/fstephany/hello-pharo/blob/master/install.st really
did the trick.

Thanks a lot!
