Pez

• http://github.com/fnando/pez

DESCRIPTION:

Pez is a simple tool to manage plugins from Git and Subversion repositories in a easy way. Instead of adding plugins to the project repository, Pez checkouts/clones the specified version to a temporary directory and creates a symlink to the Ruby on Rails plugin directory.

When Pez is asked to update the plugins, it runs the correct command in that directory, based on the repository type (Git or Subversion), which in turn is applied to the project through the symlink.

Pez allows different environments to update plugins from a different directory. So, when you deploy your Ruby on Rails application, you won't have to checkout/update all plugins again, unless you explicit say so.

Pez is based on Braid (which I never had it working) but way simpler.

INSTALLATION:

git clone git://github.com/fnando/pez.git
cd pez
rake gem:install

or

sudo gem install fnando-pez --source=http://gems.github.com

USAGE:

Run the command pez setup from your project root to create the file config/plugins.yml. Then you can manage plugins with the following commands:

# display general help
pez help

# display help for specific command
pez help [command]

# add a new plugin
pez add git://github.com/fnando/has_cache.git

# add a new plugin and specify repository type [svn, git]
pez add http://some-url.com/fnando/has_cache --type=svn

# update the repository
pez update has_cache

# update all repositories
pez update --all

# show info from all repositories
pez show --all

# remove plugin
pez remove has_cache

# remove all plugins
pez remove --all

# create symlink for plugins already added
pez symlink

# add plugin and track a specific branch (Git only)
pez add git://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber -b html-visitor

# add plugin and freeze in a specific commit
pez add git://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber \
    -r 32d4f03d19bf33172bb7b48fed48e906a56598a7

# add plugin and freeze in a specific revision
pez add svn://some/plugin -r 189

# specify the Rails environment.
# will set version following this order: 
# => RAILS_ENV, environment.rb version setting, defaults to 'development'
RAILS_ENV="production" pez add git://github.com/fnando/has_streams.git

# install, update and remove rails edge
pez add git://github.com/rails/rails.git --name=vendor/rails
pez update vendor/rails
pez remove vendor/rails

NOTE: If you specify a revision (-r or --revision), you won't be able to update the repository. To update it, edit the config/plugins.yml file and remove the revision option.
