Gutenberg -> Sandbox Sync

This is a PoC, based on calypso apps' sync.

This script syncs your local/dev gutenberg instance with your sandbox, so you can test your changes almost in real time.

How to use

1. In the gutenberg folder run npm run dev
2. clone this repo in a different folder
3. npm i
4. Run node . --localPath=<path to local gutenberg> --watch

How it works

The input is the local gutenberg path. The script is gonna sync the build folder to your sandbox folder (~/public_html/wp-content/plugins/gutenberg-core/v<version number from gutenberg's package.json>).

Arguments

--localPath: the path to your local gutenberg

--watch: keep watching for changes in the build folder

--version: the target version folder - the default is the version from gutenberg's package.json

Example

Having this file structure:

• /home/user/
  • gutenberg
  • gutenberg-sandbox-sync

1. In /home/user/gutenberg run npm run dev
2. In /home/user/gutenberg-sandbox-sync run node . --watch --localPath='../gutenberg'
3. Now make changes to the local files and they'll be synced to your sandbox

*Remember to sandbox the site you'll for testing.
