How to install on your computer

NOTE: Don't open this repo in trusted mode in VS Code or the Elixir LS extension will use up all of your CPU trying to analyze all of the code.

# Clone this git repo:
git clone git@github.com:szTheory/real-world-phoenix.git

cd real-world-phoenix/

# The apps are linked to as git submodules.
# This will take some time... (see comment below for possible speedup)
# We add `GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1` to prevent downloading lfs files which are not required and can use a repo's Github quota for bandwidth
GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 git submodule update --init

# OR if you've got git 2.9+ installed try to run updates in parallel:
# GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 git submodule update --init --jobs 4

How to add a Real World App

Given a GitHub repo for an app githubuser/foo:

# Inside the project root:
git submodule add -b master git@github.com:githubuser/foo.git apps/foo

Updating the apps submodules to latest

The apps in apps/ are git submodules. Git submodules are locked to a revision and don't stay in sync with the latest revision.

To update the revisions, run:

# This will take some time:
git submodule foreach git pull origin master
