Welcome to eureka!

Glad you found us!

What is it?

eureka! is a web application that synchronizes your domain's docroot with your svn. The svn may be on the same host, but it does not have to be.

eureka! is very useful within development teams. Programming with a bunch of people can be fun, giving all of them access rights to manually upload files to your web server (e.g. via FTP) certainly isn't. Doing so will almost automatically lead to a hazzle ("I didn't delete that", "I didn't overwrite the configuration file", "I didn't accidentally move the folder" etc.). Better make them check in their changes and start eureka! afterwards. Within a second, all changes are applied to your document root.

To cut things short, eureka! is

• an automated update mechanism for your web server's docroot
• freely configurable (exclude files, exclude folders, choose whatever svn folder/branch/tag you like, as long as you have read-access to it)
• open source, tiny (2 files), good-looking and so simple you'll love it!

What do I need?

• A web server with PHP4/5
• Access rights to execute shell commands in PHP (via shell_exec())
• Read access to your svn repository

Nothin' more.
