Yeoman generator to download and setup Craft CMS on a local machine. Its optimized for a MAMP based workflow but could work with other systems. The only thing you need to do before running it is setup a host via mamp that points to an empty 'project-name/public' directory
When run it will ask you for the project name, local host name, and local database name then it will run through the steps outlined below
- Copy over some default config and template files, and makes empty plugins and storage folders
- Copy over a starter Gruntfile.js with package.json (more on this later)
- Copy really basic bower.json (just includes bootstrap for now)
- Runs npm install
- Runs bower install
- Then it launches a Grunt Command called 'craft-install'
- Download craft via curl
- Unzips it
- copies over just the app folder into the /craft folder
- Delete the zip file and temporary unziped folder
- makes a database named whatever you called it during the initial setup (assumes username:root password:root)
- compiles the bootstrap less file
- opens the admin install screen
- craft handles the rest via the normal install workflow
1 - Install this generator via npm (only have to do this once and it assumes have yo installed)
npm install -g generator-familiar-craft
2 - Create a local host via MAMP that points to an empty 'project-name/public' folder
3 - Finally, initiate the generator:
yo familiar-craft
grunt db_pull
will download and backup a copy of the database from the live or staging server and import it into your local
grunt db_push
pushes a local database up to live
grunt craft
downloads a copy of the latest craft from buildwithcraft.com and replaces just the /craft/app folder. Great if your local files get behind the live.
grunt install
grabs craft app folder, creates the local database, and opens chrome to the craft install screem
grunt setup
similar to install but it assumes your working from an existing repo with a live server. grabs craft app folder, creates the local database, and does a db_pull
TADA!
