grunt-svn-commander

Some useful SVN commands for your GruntJS builds.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt 0.4.x

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-svn-commander --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-svn-commander');

The "svn_commander" task

Overview

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

You must have SVN on the command-line for this task to work and you must have committed the target directory to your repo. Tested against svn 1.7.10.

grunt.initConfig({
  svn_commander: {
 
    ignoreSetter: {
        options: {
            type: 'ignore'
            ,doneCallback: function() {
                console.log( "all good" );
            }
        },
        rootDir: "test"
    }
 
  },
});
