The composer vip Command

This plugin provides a single command:

composer vip

However, this command alone won’t work. It is necessary to provide one or more flags to describe the task to execute.

Flags Cheat-Sheet

Main

• --local - Tell the command to build a custom local environment. See the “Custom Local Development Environment” chapter for details.
• --vip-dev-env - Tell the command to prepare for the VIP Local Development Environment. See the “VIP Local Development Environment” chapter for details.
• --deploy - Tell the command to prepare the files and folders for production and commit any change to VIP GitHub repository. See the “Deployment” chapter for details.

Git and GitHub Options

• --git - Build Git mirror folder, but do not push. To be used in combination with --local or --vip-dev-env.

• --push - Build Git mirror folder and push to VIP. To be used in combination with --local or --vip-dev-env.

• --git-url - Set the Git remote URL to pull from and push to. To be used in combination with --deploy, --local or --vip-dev-env. If not provided, the value will be taken from composer.json in the extra.vip-composer.git.url configuration.
• --branch - Set the Git branch to pull from and push to. To be used in combination with --deploy, --local or --vip-dev-env. If not provided, the value will be taken from composer.json in the extra.vip-composer.git.branch configuration.

Utilities

• --sync-dev-paths - Synchronize local dev paths. To be used as the only option. See the “Managing Dev Paths” chapter for more details. Assumed when using --local.
• --prod-autoload - Generate production autoload. To be used standalone, or in combination with --local. It is assumed when using --vip-dev-env or anyway if Git mirror folder is created, so if any of --git, --push, or --deploy is used.
