Introduction

All the information about this project is described in this blog post.

Installation

Before you start the installation, you need to know the primary group of your web server's user. If you're using Apache, try groups apache or groups www. For these instructions, we'll use apache as the web server's group and ec2-user as the regular user.

  1. Install dependencies with Composer

composer install

  1. Clone your GitHub repository and give your web server write permissions

sudo chgrp -R apache YOUR-REPO sudo chmod -R 774 YOUR-REPO

  1. Add your user to the group used by the web server so you can read and access the files

sudo usermod -a -G apache ec2-user

  1. Edit the config file with the following parameters:
variable role variables
GIT_USERNAME Your GitHub username
GIT_REPO The relative path to the repository folder
GIT_REPO_REMOTE The GitHub path to the repository
GIT_USER The name to appear in the commits
GIT_EMAIL The email address to appear in the commits
COMMENTS_DIR_FORMAT Path and format for the comments directory @post-slug
COMMENTS_FILE_FORMAT Path and format for the comments files @timestamp, @hash
  1. Create a personal access token on GitHub and write it to .gittoken

echo {THE-TOKEN} > .gittoken

  1. Edit the fields and the validation in index.php to fit your needs

  2. POST your form data to index.php

You should be good to go! Ping me on Twitter if you have any questions.
