Hello,

I manage several servers hosting exactly the same system and it is quite troublesome to upload new encoded files on each of them. I would like to use GIT to manage version control of my web application between servers so that I could ensure its integrity.

I do not see any options in Ioncube to keep .git folder in target folder (only options are Replacing the target folder -which delete .git folder- or Merge but this keep old files that have been deleted in previous versions...)

Which approach would recommend?

Thanks!

Hi,

There may be a problem using Git in the encoded folder anyway as the encoded files will always change when encoding even if the source file has not changed. Thus version control may not be particularly useful with regard to the encoded files themselves.

It may be best to create a support ticket about this in our Support Help Desk at https://support.ioncube.com

Anyone here knows what to do to keep .git folder in Ioncube?

By default the Encoder GUI is set to ignore anything with the pattern *.git - you will see that in the excluded item patterns in the Source tab of the project settings.

If you do not want the .git folder to be ignored then please select the "*.git" pattern in the excluded item patterns and then click on the "-" (minus button) above. Then that "*.git" pattern will no longer be in the excluded items.

Can you exclude anything you want like that btw?

[alastair]

Yes, you can exclude any file name patterns that you do not want to be encoded.

If you are using the GUI you can also select particular files in the Project files panel and set them to be copied rather than encoded
