git - Joomla 自定义组件开发环境：热部署

Question

我计划开发一个 Joomla 自定义组件并将文件存储在 git repo 中。我的 git 项目的结构将模仿部署的 joomla 结构

<root>
-administrator
  -components
    -com_abc
-components
  -com_abc
-modules
  -com_abc
-plugins
  -com_abc

而不是每次我想尝试使用 joomla 根文件夹作为我的 git 项目的根目录时都必须复制/压缩组件的 php/html 文件。我会使用 git ignore 功能来排除属于 joomla 核心项目的文件。我想知道有没有人做过类似的事情，你最初是如何部署你的组件的。仅仅是使用 Joomla 扩展管理器并将目录指向 joomla 根目录的情况吗？

I myself did this kind thing not long ago. I used the following three links to setup my development structure:

• Extension development using eclipse and phing
• Working with git and github
• Working with git and github/My first pull request

What I now got is a separate Eclipse project for my local Joomla installation and every Joomla extension/template. On every extension I use Git, but not the Joomla installation itself.

Every time I make a change to a extension, I use a Eclipse builder to call on Phing that copies the edited files to my Joomla installation. This way, I can test the changes locally. When I'm ready to deploy the extensions to a remote site, I use Phing to build the zip packages so that I can manually install them using the Joomla Extension Manager.

Note that I'm on Windows and but I think it's a good solution for other operating systems too. Using Eclipse as editor is also nice, with code completion etc. I used Notepad++ before.

My extensions folder structure:

com_extensionname
    - backend
         - assets
         - controllers
         - helpers
         - language
         - models
         - sql
         - tables
         - views
         - access.xml
         - extensionname.php
         - config.xml
         - controller.php
         - index.html
         - router.php
         - LICENSE.txt
    - frontend
         - assets
         - controllers
         - helpers
         - language
         - models
         - views
         - extensionname.php
         - controller.php
         - index.html
         - router.php
    - build.xml
    - extensionname.xml

The Eclipse external tool to run the following file:

Location: Path to phing.bat
Working Directory: ${project_loc}
Arguments: create_packages (This only argument only goes to the "Create packages"-tool

Example of Phing xml file (build.xml):
