This script automates the setup of a Selenium project by cloning a specific Git branch ("branch1") if it doesn't already exist locally.

Run example

npm run import -- "selenium repository"

selenium repository

mkdir -r selenium/repository
cd selenium/repository
git branch | grep 'branch1' &> /dev/null
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
   git clone -b branch1 https://github.com/username/repository.git ./
fi
cd ../../

bash
#!/bin/bash

# Define constants for repository information
REPOSITORY_URL="https://github.com/username/repository.git"
TARGET_BRANCH="branch1"
REPOSITORY_PATH="selenium/repository"

# Create target repository path if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p "$REPOSITORY_PATH" || true  # Suppress error if directory already exists

# Navigate to the repository directory
cd "$REPOSITORY_PATH"

# Check if target branch exists
if! git branch | grep -q "$TARGET_BRANCH"; then
  # Clone the repository with the target branch
  git clone --branch "$TARGET_BRANCH" "$REPOSITORY_URL".
  # If the clone operation fails, it will still exit with a non-zero status
fi

# Navigate back to the parent directory
cd../..

This code snippet automates the setup of a specific Git branch named "branch1" for a Selenium project.

Here's a breakdown:

1. Directory Creation:

   • mkdir -r selenium/repository: Creates a directory named "repository" within a "selenium" directory if it doesn't exist. The -r flag ensures that any necessary parent directories are created.

2. Navigation:

   • cd selenium/repository: Changes the current working directory to the newly created "repository" directory.

3. Branch Check:

   • git branch | grep 'branch1' &> /dev/null: Lists all existing branches and checks if a branch named "branch1" exists. The output is redirected to /dev/null to suppress it.
   • if [ $? != 0 ]; then: Checks the exit status of the previous command. If the exit status is not 0 (meaning the branch wasn't found), the code inside the if block is executed.

4. Branch Cloning:

   • git clone -b branch1 https://github.com/username/repository.git ./: Clones the repository from the specified URL, specifically targeting the "branch1" branch. The cloned repository is placed in the current directory (.).

5. Return to Parent Directory:

   • cd ../../: Changes the working directory back to two levels up from the current location.

In essence, this script ensures that the "branch1" branch of a Selenium project is available locally. If the branch doesn't exist, it's cloned from the remote repository.
