Workspaces
A workspace is a second copy of a site, so you can work on a branch while the original keeps running. Each workspace has its own folder, git branch, address and, if you like, database.
Create a workspace
In the app, select a site and click New in its Workspaces card. From the command line, in the site's folder:
rigly workspace feature-auth
That creates feature-auth.shop.test:
- The code is a git worktree on a new branch called
feature-auth. Files git ignores, such as.env,vendorandnode_modules, are copied too. The copies take almost no extra disk space until they change. A project that isn't a git repository is copied in full. - The settings match the original: PHP version, Node version and HTTPS.
- Laravel apps get
APP_URLandDB_DATABASEupdated, and their cached config cleared.
Databases
Choose what the workspace's database should be:
| Option | |
|---|---|
--database clone |
A copy of the site's database (the default). Works for MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite. |
--database empty |
A new, empty database. Laravel apps are migrated. |
--database shared |
Use the same database as the site. |
List and remove workspaces
rigly workspaces
rigly workspace:remove feature-auth
rigly workspace:remove feature-auth --keep-database
Removing a workspace deletes its folder, including any changes you haven't committed, and its database. The git branch is kept, so your commits are safe.
