How do I add files that were uploaded to the git repository?

I have a system where it is possible to add extensions and plugins via web interface by uploading a file .zip.

That file .zip is unzipped by the system and the files go to a specific server folder.

However, these files are not included in the project repository (private), which is always outdated. If I need to edit any of these new files, I end up having to download them from the server.

I would like to know how I can include these new files to the repository after uploading in order to have them locally while running git pull, for example.

git

  • What exactly do you have in mind? Do you want your server to commit/push those files every upload? Do you want something like this to happen every morning? Do you want a manual procedure to commit to this file? Overall I don’t know how interesting it is to persist environment settings (in this case, plugins and extensions) in your project’s Repo... If you really want to do this, I would at least create a separate repository for these plugin settings and include this as a submodule in the main project.

  • I suggest a search for the Github API: https://developer.github.com/v3/ - Create the archive in the repository and upload - After, Commit

  • @Anthonyaccioly, excellent observation! It really doesn’t make much sense that approach I wanted to take. In fact, I had nothing in mind. The how-to would be my main doubt, IE, I ended up not taking into account the automation, or not, of the process.

Have you checked at the root of the project if you have any files called

".gitignore"

This file may be ignoring zip files (*.zip) or else the folder where the upload is done!
