Symfony2 – Franz Jordán 2011
Beginning Development
Now that you have a fully-functional Symfony2 application, you can begin development! Your
distribution may contain some sample code - check the README.rst file included with the
distribution (open it as a text file) to learn about what sample code was included with your
distribution and how you can remove it later.
If you're new to Symfony, join us in the "Creating Pages in Symfony2", where you'll learn how to
create pages, change configuration, and do everything else you'll need in your new application.
Using Source Control
If you're using a version control system like Git or Subversion, you can setup your version
control system and begin committing your project to it as normal. For Git, this can be done
easily with the following command:
git init
For more information on setting up and using Git, check out the GitHub Bootcamp tutorials.
Ignoring the vendor/ Directory
If you've downloaded the archive without vendors, you can safely ignore the
entire vendors/directory and not commit it to source control. With Git, this is done by creating
and adding the following to a .gitignore file:
vendor/
Now, the vendor directory won't be committed to source control. This is fine (actually, it's great!)
because when someone else clones or checks out the project, he/she can simply run
the phpbin/vendors install script to download all the necessary vendor libraries.
