Shopware 6 consists of multiple repositories, two of them are important to you:
shopware/platformis a mono repository- This is where the shopware core is developed. You need it as dependency in your projects
- This is where you can participate in the development of Shopware through pull requests
- It's split into multiple repositories for production setups, all read-only
shopware/developmentis the development template- This is where your journey with shopware starts
- Installation see below!
A full installation guide covering different dev environments is available in the docs.
For the impatient reader, here is a tl;dr using docker.
Let's start by cloning the development template:
> git clone [email protected]:shopware/development.gitYou now have the application template for the Shopware Platform in the directory development, we now change into it:
> cd developmentOnly if you want to work with the Shopware platform code itself, e.g. in order to create a pull request for it, you should clone the platform code manually. Before doing so, empty the existing platform directory.
> rm platform/.gitkeep
> git clone [email protected]:shopware/platform
> git checkout @ platform/.gitkeepBuild and start the containers:
> ./psh.phar docker:startAccess the application container:
> ./psh.phar docker:sshExecute the installer:
> ./psh.phar install This may take a while since many caches need to be generated on first execution, but only on first execution.
To be sure that the installation succeeded, just open the following URL in your favorite browser: localhost:8000
Now you're all set to start developing your first plugin.
Shopware 6 will continue to evolve together with you and your feedback. This is our number one priority!
With openness as one of our core values, we will always provide you with a transparent overview of our product development.
The Shopware Roadmap shows you what we are working on, what we want to tackle next, and what visions we have for the future.
Take a look at the current roadmap here.
In today’s information-based world, you cannot thrive in closed systems. Black boxes and vendor lock-in models hurt innovation – and belong in the dark ages of ecommerce.
The future of IT is all about collaboration. At Shopware, we believe that the best ecommerce solution can only be developed in constant exchange with the people that use it every day. This is why we made a clear promise to the open source approach and embrace everyone willing to participate. We consider our community to be our greatest strength; not our competitor, like many companies tend to do.
We believe that our open source edition is our strongest asset and that we need, now more than ever, to invest in our ecosystem of partners and developers. So that we can work together to collaborate across backgrounds, experiences and ideas and mutually benefit from the software that results.
