This is a script that runs as a git hook after a branch checkout.
It is specific for Drupal 7 and its main use is to create a different DBs and settings.php files for each branch.
###Details:
- It uses post-checkout hook
- It creates a different DB for each branch on checkout
- It creates a backup of settings.php file for every branch, in the format settings_${branchName}.php
- The DB is copied from the "master" DB
###Use case:
- Before anything, be sure to have checked out the master branch of your project
- Set the original DB of your Drupal 7 project as {prefix}master, where prefix is the name of your project. e.g. my_new_eshop_master. In this case the "my_new_eshop_" is the prefix
- Copy "post-checkout" file into ".git/hooks/" folder in your Drupal 7 project
- Change inside the file "dbPrefix" variable to your DB prefix e.g. "my_new_eshop_"
- Make post-checkout file executable: chmod +x post-checkout
- Set in "post-checkout" file the root username and password, dbUser and dbPass respectively
- Set in "post-checkout" file the user that is connected to the DB from Drupal in "dbUserAccess". This is the DB user that Drupal uses to connect to the DB
