Automator SVN-delete and deploy workflow
Almost all of my projects are placed under svn version control, a great way to manage different project versions. But when the time is there to put everything online I have to clear all auto-created .svn files and folders. This doesn’t only save space but it’s also a more secure way to deploy files.
A few weeks back I created an automator workflow to do all this stuff automagically and today is the time I share this with you developers out there.
What it actually does:
- It prompts you with the folder you’d like to export
- It takes a copy of the folder and pastes it onto the desktop
- It removes all the .svn files and folders
- It shows the newly exported folder in a finder window
- Your original files won’t be harmed
You can download the compiled automator script here.
If you’d like to change the workflow to fit your own needs (i.e.: you can open your favorite FTP client after the process) then download the automator workflow here.
Just a little sidenote: you can also export your project from your subversion client like Versions or Cornerstone.
