Using forks with composer – late night edition

Ivo Bathke — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 16:21:46 +0000

Using your forks of certain packages with composer is actually pretty easy:
Add the repo of the fork to the repositories block of your composer.json, you might need to change the version to f.e dev-master and thats it. Great. Actually.

"repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/ivoba/SomeBundle.log"
        }
    ]

But there are some traps, especially when you are mentally already weekend bound:

When working in a team, take care that you dont add your fork as a private repo.
This happens when you use the @ notation like ‘git@github.com‘. Its tempting because it will be the clone url on github when you are logged in, which is very likely.
If you do so your team mates will get errors like this:

Failed to execute git clone --no-checkout 'git@github.com:ivoba/SomeBundle.git' [...] && git remote add composer 'git@github.com:ivoba/SomeBundle.git' && git fetch composer

So better change it to the notation of public repositories like ‘git://github.com‘ but take care that you change the whole path and not only the protocol like:

git://github.com:ivoba/SomeBundle.git

This will look in port “ivoba” ;) and you will get an error like:

fatal: Unable to look up github.com (port ivoba) (Servname not supported for ai_socktype)

If you try the same with https you will still fail with:

Cloning into bare repository [...]                                                         
  fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'

So the correct path for public repos is:

git://github.com/ivoba/SomeBundle.git[/code] or


https://github.com/ivoba/SomeBundle.git
with colon slash slash domain slash !
Stupid mistakes but they happen, though its all written in the docs:

https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#loading-a-package-from-a-vcs-repository

and

https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#using-private-repositories

but sometimes reading alone isnt sufficient ;).

install silverstripe with some modules from GIT
Max Girkens — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 12:53:22 +0000
This is a small shell script to set up silverstripe CMS

along with some modules i often use (as seen in ivo’s post)
The script has two parameters:

– the folder to clone the whole thing into

– the branch/tag to checkout afterwards
# install silverstripe + common modules from github
# usage sh install_silverstripe.sh  
# examples:
# sh install_silverstripe.sh some_folder tags/2.4.5
# sh install_silverstripe.sh some_folder master


As Silverstripe itself is split up in 3 repositories

(the installer/base folder, the cms and the sapphire framework itself)

we fetch the base folder first:
#set up project base folder
git clone git@github.com:silverstripe/silverstripe-installer.git $1
cd $1
git checkout $2

Get the cms
#setup cms
git clone git@github.com:silverstripe/silverstripe-cms.git cms
cd cms
git checkout $2
cd ..

Get sapphire …
#setup framework
git clone git@github.com:silverstripe/sapphire.git sapphire
cd sapphire
git checkout $2
cd ..

Setup some permissions for the web installer.
#set permissions for install
chmod 0777 assets assets/*
chmod 0666 .htaccess mysite/_config.php assets/*/*

Fetch the blackcandy theme from a fourth repository.

Backup the tutorial theme in case we need it.
#install blackcandy theme
mv themes/tutorial ./
rm -rf themes
git clone https://github.com/silverstripe-themes/silverstripe-blackcandy.git themes
cd themes
git checkout $2
cd ..
mv tutorial themes

Install some modules
# install common modules
git clone https://github.com/unclecheese/Uploadify.git uploadify
git clone https://github.com/unclecheese/DataObjectManager.git dataobject_manager
git clone https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-userforms.git userforms

iIput the script on github

…in case you might wanna use it or add something i’ve missed.

Unfuddle: Repository read access denied

Unfuddle: Repository read access denied
Ich benutze ja ganz gerne unfuddle für Projekte mit closed source.

Dort kann man nämlich mit dem free Account, anders wie bei github, private repositories erstellen.
Nun hatte ich aber neulich plötzlich einen Auth Fehler und konnte mich mit meinem key nicht mehr connecten:
ERROR:gitosis.serve.main:Repository read access denied
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Ich war mir keiner schuld bewußt.
Nachdem ich meinen key gelöscht bei unfuddle hatte und neu anlegen wollte, kam dann die Fehlermeldung:
This public key has already been taken by another user.
If you have multiple accounts, you must use a different public key for each account.


Des Rätsels Löung war dann hier zu finden.
Kurz: ich hatte meinen key noch einem anderen Projekt zugeteilt, wo ich contribute, allerdings mit einem anderen Account.

Also zweiten key angelegt, bei unfuddle eingetragen, über ssh config einen switch eingetragen und schon klappts
