Version control¶
Add to version control system¶
If you use a version control system such as Git (and you really should!), it is
important to add both files composer.json
and composer.lock
(which were created automatically during the previous steps). The
composer.lock
file keeps track of the exact versions that are installed,
so that you are on the same versions as your co-workers (and when deploying to
the live system).
Note
It is always good practice to exclude passwords from checked-in files
(for example, config/system/settings.php
). A solution may be to add
the setting containing sensitive information to
config/system/additional.php
and use an .env
file in the
project directory to configure the password and other configuration along
with helhum/dotenv-collector.
Additionally, some files and folders added by Composer should be excluded:
public/index.php
public/typo3/
public/typo3conf/ext/
vendor/
A .gitignore
file could look like this:
/var/*
!/var/labels
/vendor/*
/public/index.php
/public/typo3/*
/public/typo3conf/ext/*
Checkout from version control system¶
All your co-workers should always run composer install
after they have
checked out the files. This command will install the packages in the appropriate
versions defined in composer.lock
. This way, you and your co-workers
always have the same versions of the TYPO3 Core and the extensions installed.
