BASH
Automate Git Clone and Node.js Dependency Installation
Streamline web project setup. This bash script automates cloning a Git repository and installing Node.js dependencies with npm or yarn, simplifying initial project setup for developers.
#!/bin/bash
REPO_URL=$1
PROJECT_DIR=$2
if [ -z "$REPO_URL" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 <repo_url> [project_directory]"
exit 1
fi
if [ -z "$PROJECT_DIR" ]; then
PROJECT_DIR=$(basename "$REPO_URL" .git)
fi
echo "Cloning repository: $REPO_URL into $PROJECT_DIR"
git clone "$REPO_URL" "$PROJECT_DIR"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Repository cloned successfully. Entering directory..."
cd "$PROJECT_DIR"
if [ -f "package.json" ]; then
echo "package.json found. Installing Node.js dependencies..."
if command -v yarn &> /dev/null; then
yarn install
elif command -v npm &> /dev/null; then
npm install
else
echo "Neither yarn nor npm found. Please install one to proceed."
fi
else
echo "No package.json found. Skipping Node.js dependency installation."
fi
echo "Setup complete for $PROJECT_DIR."
else
echo "Error: Failed to clone repository $REPO_URL"
exit 1
fi
How it works: This script automates the initial setup for a web project. It takes a Git repository URL as its first argument and an optional directory name as the second. It clones the specified repository, then checks if a `package.json` file exists. If found, it attempts to install Node.js dependencies using `yarn install` (if Yarn is installed) or falls back to `npm install`.
