yiiGitBuildNumber

The component for Yii framework to retrieve the build information (last commit id and commit time).

This is a very simple component that uses internally the git cmd functions.

The idea of writing this component comes from my Java experience with very popular plugin maven-build-number.

So after making some improvements for existing maven plugin I decided to make something similar for the PHP/Yii world. I think that the little usefull and effortless tricks like this one, can make you application more proffessional.

The screenshot below demonstrates what does this component:

Installation instructions

Copy the GitBuildNumberComponent.php file to your webapp /protected/components/ folder. wget https://github.com/yev/yiiGitBuildNumber/blob/master/src/GitBuildNumberComponent.php

Configuration instruction

After downloading and installing the component into right place you have to tell yii framework about tne new component:

1. Edit your webapp/protected/config/main.php file
2. And add the following somewhere in the components section - 'git'=>array( 'class'=>'GitBuildNumberComponent', )
3. After this modification your protected/config/main.php file may looks like this:

Requirements

The component has been tested on Yii 1.1.12 and PHP 5.4.
