# Varbase Sub Profile Generator Having a generator tool helper. Which helps in extending Varbase profile using the sub profile method. ## Step #1 Download {% hint style="info" %} Download the Varbase Sub profile generator from [https://bitbucket.org/Vardot/varbase-subprofile-generator](https://github.com/Vardot/varbase-subprofile-generator) and get ready to generate profiles. {% endhint %} **Example:** Let consider that the `/var/www/html/products` directory was the default products workspace directory. * Open a terminal window * Create the directory if it was not created yet * Change directory to the coding workspace directory * Clone the Varbase Subprofile generator * Change directory to the varbase-subprofile-generator directory ``` mkdir /var/www/html/products cd /var/www/html/products git clone git@github.com:Vardot/varbase-subprofile-generator.git cd /var/www/html/products/varbase-subprofile-generator ``` ## Step #2 Select a Version Set the version of the generator **Example:** In case of wanting to generate a sub profile of **Varbase 9.0.x** run the following commands: ``` cd /var/www/html/products/varbase-subprofile-generator git checkout 9.0.0 ``` ## Step #3 Change Settings Notice the [**settings.yml**](https://github.com/Vardot/varbase-subprofile-generator/blob/9.0.x/settings.yml) file which will set the default settings for Varbase Sub Profile Generator. ``` source: profile: git_repository: git@github.com:Vardot/varbase_subprofile_basic.git dev_branch: name: 9.0.x alias: 9.0.x-dev label: 9.0.x project: git_repository: git@github.com:Vardot/varbase-subprofile-basic-project.git dev_branch: name: 9.0.x alias: 9.0.x-dev label: 9.0.x target: profile: dev_branch: name: 1.0.x alias: 1.0.x-dev label: 1.0.x project: dev_branch: name: 1.0.x alias: 1.0.x-dev label: 1.0.x ``` Change the **dev\_version** to mach with the target **dev\_branch** name and alias. **Example:** The [**CV**](https://www.drupal.org/project/cv) profile Change target *`dev_branch`* for the *`profile`* and *`project`* to **3.0.x** for the [**CV**](https://www.drupal.org/project/cv) example profile {% embed url="" %} ``` target: profile: dev_branch: name: 3.0.x alias: 3.0.x-dev label: 3.0.x project: dev_branch: name: 3.0.x alias: 3.0.x-dev label: 3.0.x ``` ## Step #4 Generate Run the generate command. **Example:** The [**CV**](https://www.drupal.org/project/cv) profile In a case of creating a Varbase sub profile named "cv". Run the following commands in the local terminal: ``` $ bash generate-varbase-subprofile.sh "cv" "/var/www/html/products" -vvv ``` \ The following directories will be created for the new sub profile. ``` $ cd /var/www/html/products $ ls -l products/ - cv/ - cv-project/ ``` ## Step #5 Public Repositories Saving the code in a repository is important. To let Composer build the project or manage the workflow of updates over code and config changes. Push the generated profile and project template to [https://github.com](https://github.com/) or for example. Submit them to [https://packagist.org](https://packagist.org/) to be able to create projects or manage projects using the composer. Commit to a new project in [https://drupal.org](https://drupal.org/) to list the profile in the projects catalog in Drupal.org **Example:** The [**CV**](https://www.drupal.org/project/cv) profile #### **CV at Github.com** * * #### **CV at Packagist.org** * * #### CV at Drupal.org * ## Step #6 Changing Have a development working directory to work on changing on generated sub profile. **Example:** The [**CV**](https://www.drupal.org/project/cv) profile To install the development version of CV 3.0.x run this command: ``` composer create-project vardot/cv-project:3.0.x-dev PROJECT_DIR_NAME --stability dev --no-interaction ``` Commits changes over the code or configs to the **cv** and **cv-project** to the public repositories. That will reflect on `composer create-project`, `composer install` or `composer update`. #### **CV on Github.com** Make sure that changes are updated in **github.com** site. * * Do more `composer create-project` after committing changes and a new install for the site. To make sure that changes are working on install. #### **CV on Packagist.org** Make sure that changes are updated in the **packagest.org** site too. * * #### CV on Drupal.org Make sure that the code is synced with the project in **Drupal.org** site. * --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
