Support non-git-based deploy? about drat.builder

[richfitz]

👍 definitely.

Is avoiding the commit necessary for deploying elsewhere though?

[cboettig]

guess not, it's more of a question of whether or not there needs to be a
git repository (e.g. a .git directory) in the directory being deployed.

Supporting skipping git would be easy enough (probably could go through and make all steps optional). Though omitting the .git directory on deploy should be easy for most tools, right?

[cboettig]

right. So if you run drat.builder in a new directory that isn't
initialized as a git repo, does drat.builder make one automatically or
throw an error?

At the moment it creates one (as of yesterday). That could be easily replaced.

One option:

• add an option (init_git) with default of TRUE that will initialise a git repo if not present
• if the git repo is not present then skip the commit step automatically

oh cool. yeah, ideally you'd have the option to avoid creating if not
necessary, but probably not that important as long as it's not throwing
errors. like you say you can always avoid copying the .git over to the
server if you don't want it.
