Since this is a template, you'll wanna add some flags to your clone command so that you can get the repo without all of its commit history and emotional baggage:
$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/alexeden/node-remote-repo-template.git <your new repo's name>
$ rm -rf !$/.git
Make sure you have passwordless SSH access to your Raspberry Pi.
Clone/fork your repo onto both your local machine and your Raspberry Pi.
npm install
inside the project on both your local machine and the remote device.
Create a file called sync.config.json
on the machine on which you'll be developing, and substitute these values with your own:
{
"username": "<<<username>>>",
"hostname": "<<<hostname or IP address of your remote device>>>",
"directory": "<<<parent directory on remote device into which the repo was cloned>>>",
"quiet": false // Disable most rsync logs (defaults to false)
}
Locally, you can now run npm run sync-changes
, and any changes made to files inside /src
or /examples
will automatically be uploaded to your Pi.
You can configure which excluded from uploaded by opening
sync.js
and modifying theexclude
option passed toRsync.build
.
From the remote device, you can run npm run build-changes
, and any changes pushed from your local machine will automatically be rebuilt. You can run additional scripts (test scripts, etc) by appending the shell commands to the exec
property inside nodemon.build.json
.
