Changing Working Directory

    Hello,

    I have the following directory structure.

    /home/web/public_html <- WordPress installation
    /home/web/.git <- Git directory

    I have the following in wp-config.php

    define(‘REVISR_GIT_DIR’, ‘/home/web/.git’);

    And the following in my .git/config file

    worktree = /home/web/public_html

    Just wondering why revisr is showing

    Work Tree: /home/web
    Git Dir: /home/web/.git

    How do I change the Work Tree? I’m probably doing something stupid, but I googled a bunch and tried to search these threads.

    Thanks

    Hi Jordan,

    You can change the Work Tree by adding this to your wp-config:

    define( 'REVISR_WORK_TREE', '/path/to/your/work/tree' );

    Let me know if that helps!

    Thanks Matt, added it to my wp-config.php and even deleted revisr and installed it again.

    Still not working ?? I was peeking around some code and I think this variables is overwritten somewhere.

    Hi Jordan,

    I looked into this and the only way the REVISR_WORK_TREE variable could be overwritten is if the directory you defined doesn’t exist (or if you didn’t define it at all).

    In either case, it will default to the value of the WordPress ABSPATH constant.

    Just out of curiousity, is your wp-config.php file in the /home/web/ directory? Or in /home/web/public_html/?

    Yea Matt, I was poking around briefly and saw that the variable was being overwritten at some point.

    Just recap.

    /home/web/public_html < WordPress Install
    /home/web/public_html < wp-config.php with Revisr settings
    /home/web/.git < git local repository and config.

    Also, I typically start tracking sites using the following method.

    cd /home/web/public_html
    git –git-dir=../.git –work-tree=. init

    I started to move towards this, versus having the .git folder in the wordpress installation directory due to plugins scanning the .git dir and taking forever.

    Matt, just did this setup on a existing WordPress site that had no git repository or revisr plugin install.

    Setup git repository /home/web/.git and set work-tree to /home/web/public_html in .git/config

    Installed revisr, couldn’t find repository. Updated wp-config.php to add

    define(‘REVISR_GIT_DIR’, ‘/home/web/.git’);

    Found repository, and detected the working tree correctly as /home/web/public_html under Help.

    So strange…..
