Loading code from a local git repository
Hello, I am trying to version a project on git using filetree. Since I also have some external resources (like images), I would avoid loading the whole project from the pharo image, because that would download the external files in a cache directory, thus making them difficult to reach and update. My idea is to update the git repository from the commandline, and then run a script to build the image. The question then is: is there an easy way to programmatically load a project from a local directory? Also, do you have any suggestions for a better workflow to handle this situation? Thanks, Tommaso
Just place the repository in a separate directory from the other stuff, like https://github.com/svenvc/zinc No ?

As Sven mentionned it, you can simply put your filetree files in a subdirectory. You can have a look at https://github.com/fstephany/hello-pharo It's a bit outdated but it will give you the idea. On Tue, Jul 28, 2015 at 12:42 PM, Tommaso Dal Sasso < tommaso.dalsasso@gmail.com> wrote:

You can also add a makefile to build the pharo image in the git repository. I usually have a src/pharo packages build/Makefile structure. Thierry Le 28 juil. 2015 1:14 PM, "François Stephany" <tulipe.moutarde@gmail.com> a écrit :

Thanks for the answers, I have the code in a separate directory, my doubt was about how to load the code without using the GUI. The script: gitRepository := MCFileTreeRepository new directory: (FileLocator imageDirectory / 'src'). Gofer it repository: gitRepository; package: 'Hello-Pharo'; load. taken from here: https://github.com/fstephany/hello-pharo/blob/master/install.st really did the trick. Thanks a lot!
