🎛️Setup

Once you've installed Gitamic, you'll need to update your application's configuration. This is usually a one-time thing for each Statamic site where you use Gitamic.

1. Register the add-on within Statamic

Update your config/statamic/editions.php config file to indicate that you're using the pro edition of Gitamic:

'addons' => [
    'simonhamp/gitamic' => 'pro',
],

2. [Optional] Set the commit author details

By default, Gitamic uses the following details for the git committer name and email address:

• name: Gitamic

• email: gitamic@[domain from APP_URL]

You can easily override these values in your .env by adding the following keys, e.g.:

GITAMIC_GIT_USER_NAME="Simon Hamp"
GITAMIC_GIT_USER_EMAIL="[e-mail]"

Alternatively, publish the Gitamic config file to your application. This should already happen as part of the add-on's installation, but for some reason it doesn't exist, run the following command in your terminal:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=SimonHamp\\Gitamic\\ServiceProvider

Then, if you prefer your whole team to use the same committer details, you can hard-code these settings into the config/gitamic.php config file.

If you're using Statamic Pro's Git Integration and would prefer Gitamic to use the same set of user details, simply set these values to null in your config/gitamic.php config file. Gitamic will then use STATAMIC_GIT_USER_NAME and STATAMIC_GIT_USER_EMAIL instead, if those have been defined.

If you'd like to use the details of the logged-in Statamic user as the committer, you will need to enable the gitamic.use_authenticated option in config/gitamic.php:

return [
    'use_authenticated' => true,

    'user' => ...
];

3. [Optional] Play nicely with Statamic Pro

If you have Statamic Pro (you should, it's great!) and you have Statamic's Git Automation enabled, you may find it better to disable Statamic's 'automatic commits' feature so that Statamic doesn't automatically commit every change.

This will leave you to manage your commits via Gitamic, if that's what you prefer.

To disable Statamic's automatic commits, add the following to your .env file:

STATAMIC_GIT_AUTOMATIC=false

---

You should commit these changes to your application to save the rest of your team from having to follow the same steps
