We need to list the file patterns to be in the .gitignore:

EDITED:
Add the version generated by GitHub + .taipy, .data, user_data

The .gitignore should be added to the default template.

Hi @jrobinAV I want to work on this. I have setup the codebase and am exploring it further. Can you point me to the entrypoint to taipy cli please.

Hi @anunayasri ,

The entry point to the CLI would be in the taipy/_cli folder. However, I believe this issue is looking to develop a default .gitignore and initiate a git repo for the to-be-created Taipy project through Taipy template. So it might be to your interest to have a look at Taipy template at taipy/templates as well :D Do let me know if you have further questions!

Thanks for supporting us and giving us a helping hand!!!

Hi @toan-quach.

Thanks for the response and for correcting me. I need one more help please. I am trying to run the taipy cli. For some reason, pip install . doesn't create an executable in the venv's bin folder. Taipy is installed only in site-packages folder. Any leads on how to resolve it? Ultimately I want to run taipy create --template <>.

There is a problem with the pip install . since it does not follow the setup.py logic. You can read more about it here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21781734/entry-points-does-not-create-custom-scripts-with-pip-only-with-easy-install-in.

To sum up, what you can do is going to a different working directory and installing Taipy with an absolute path to the taipy directory. For example:

pip install $HOME/src/taipy

Please let me know if it can work.

Hi @trgiangdo . Sorry, I was not able to respond your comment earlier. I tried switching to a different directory but it didn't work. I tried using pip install --upgrade . and that also didn't work. :/

Again, installing with the "." will not work.

Please try to create a separate environment in a different directory than taipy, then install using the taipy path.

@trgiangdo Installing in a different directory also didn't work. I have already tried it. I have solved it temporarily by reverse engineering the taipy executable. Mentioning the steps below if someone else is facing the same problem.

cd $PROJECT_ROOT
touch extaipy.py  # executable taipy
# Paste the python script given below in the file 
# Update the python executable based on your venv

chmod +x extaipy.py

./extaipy.py help

#!/Users/anunayasri/workspace/taipy/.venv/bin/python    <<<<< Update based on your venv
import re
import sys
from taipy._entrypoint import _entrypoint

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(_entrypoint())

Hi. I wasn't able to be give time to wrap up this issue. I have picked it up to raise the PR. Getting the following error. I would appreciate if someone could help.

I have added git init logic to post-gen hook in both the tempaltes: taipy/templates/default/hooks/post_gen_project.py and taipy/templates/scenario-management/hooks/post_gen_project.py but mypy thinks these are duplicate packages. I have just added logic to existing packages!

taipy/templates/scenario-management/hooks/post_gen_project.py: error: Duplicate module named "post_gen_project" (also at "taipy/templates/default/hooks/post_gen_project.py")
taipy/templates/scenario-management/hooks/post_gen_project.py: note: See https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/running_mypy.html#mapping-file-paths-to-modules for more info
taipy/templates/scenario-management/hooks/post_gen_project.py: note: Common resolutions include: a) using `--exclude` to avoid checking one of them, b) adding `__init__.py` somewhere, c) using `--explicit-package-bases` or adjusting MYPYPATH

In the pyproject.toml, we defined mypy to exclude (taipy/templates/|generate_pyi.py|tools)", which also excludes the duplicated modules in taipy/templates.

I'm not sure why you are getting the error tbh, but it should be fine when you commit and push the branch.

@anunayasri I assigned the issue to you because you are already working on it. Let me know if it's ok.

Thank you

@trgiangdo. Thanks for the help. I am totally fine to be the assignee. 👍🏼 Will raise the PR in some time.

Hi @trgiangdo . I have raised the PR. Could you have a look.
