gittio

gitTio CLI

Command-line package manager for Appcelerator Titanium modules & Alloy widgets, powered by the gitTio search engine that indexes all open source components (modules and widgets) on GitHub.

A screencast demonstrating gitTio can be found at: http://youtu.be/Tgyfo8YHKxk

Quickstart

1. Install gitTio using NPM:

   [sudo] npm install -g gittio
   

2. Install missing (versions of) modules and widgets required in tiapp.xml and app/config.json and use the global path for modules:

   ~/myproject $ gittio install -g
   

3. Install the latest version of a component and add it to tiapp.xml or app/config.json:

   ~/myproject $ gittio install -g facebook
   ~/myproject $ gittio install nl.fokkezb.loading
   

Commands

Use gittio or gittio -h for full usage, but this covers 80%:

info

Looks up a component at gitt.io and displays or returns the info.

• Display in pretty format:

  gittio info facebook
  

• Display in JSON format:

  gittio info facebook -o json
  

install

Installs all required or a specific component/version/platform.

Examples:

• Install missing (versions of) modules and widgets required in tiapp.xml and app/config.json and use the global path for modules:

  ~/myproject $ gittio install -g
  

  NOTE: For widgets, though not officially supported by Alloy, you can add dependencies to other widgets in widget.json using the same notation as in config.json. The CLI will install all dependencies but ATM not check for conflicts (#21). You can even add a modules property using the same notation to depend on modules, like nl.fokkezb.drawer depends on dk.napp.drawer.

• Install the latest version of a component and add it to tiapp.xml or app/config.json:

  ~/myproject $ gittio install -g facebook
  ~/myproject $ gittio install nl.fokkezb.loading
  

• Install a specific version of a component for a single platform only, even if it is already installed:

  ~/myproject $ gittio install -g facebook@3.1.1 -p ios -f
  

• Install a widget from the master of the underlying repo:

  ~/myproject $ gittio install nl.fokkezb.loading@master
  

• Install the latest version of a module to the global path:

  ~ $ gittio install -g facebook
  

• Install a module or zip file by pointing to a local or ZIP file:

  ~ $ gittio install https://github.com/FokkeZB/nl.fokkezb.form/archive/master.zip
  ~ $ gittio install -g ~/mymodule.zip
  

update

Updates all components to their latest versions.

Examples:

• Install newer versions of globally installed modules:

  ~ $ gittio update -g
  

• Install newer versions of components required by a project and use the global path for modules:

  ~/myproject $ gittio update -g
  

• Install only newer versions of widgets:

  ~/myproject $ gittio update -t widget
  

uninstall

Uninstalls a specific component/version/platform.

Examples:

• Uninstall a component and remove it from tiapp.xml or app/config.json:

  ~/myproject $ gittio uninstall nl.fokkezb.loading
  

• Uninstall all (global) versions of a component:

  ~ $ gittio uninstall -g facebook
  

• Uninstall a component for a specific version and platform:

  ~ $ gittio uninstall -g facebook@3.1.1 -p ios
  

demo

Demos a module by creating a project with the module example included.

~ $ gittio demo dk.napp.drawer -p ios

Options

Use gittio or gittio -h for full usage, but this covers 80%:

-g, --global

Searches and installs modules under the global module path (~/Library/Application Support/Titanium/modules on the Mac).

-f, --force

Forces install of components even if they are already found. When you specify a version to install this option is set automatically.

-p, --platform

Searches and installs modules only for the specified platform.

-t, --type

Installs or updates only missing components for type (module or widget).

-o --output json

Output result of info command as json.

Configuration

Starting version 1.4, there's also a config command to override default configuration settings. At the moment, the only - but crucial - setting is registry.url which lets you instruct the CLI to talk a different registry then gitTio's, as long as it follows the same format.

~ $ gittio config registry.url http://registry.mycompany.com

Bugs

When you find issues, please report them. Be sure to include all of the output from the gittio command that didn't work as expected. Also please check if there's not already in issue for it.
