git submodules really are awful but sometimes they're the hero you need, even if they're not the hero you deserve.
(This PSA brought to you by me ripping out my non existent hair trying to replace an old repo with a new one at the same submodule location. TL:DR - if you're still seeing the old stuff you want 'git submodule sync'. Ungh)
Tired of my struggle with git today...
I happen to have a nested git repository. Which is the public directory inside my Hugo framework. Git has a solution for that called: submodule.
But the assumption in the documentation seems to be that you add a submodule from a remote server and basically clone it. But I generate it locally.
So I have to remove public from the tracked files (git rm -r --cache) then cd into public, then git init, then git add and commit all stuff in public, then I can add the submodule from the projects root...
I think I am on the right track? Am I?
#linux #commandline #git #submodule
#DevLog: #Anklang #Submodule Purge
🚧 #Github release tar/zip archives cannot include submodule sources
📥 So, we now fetch all external sources as tarballs (faster anyway)
🧹 Deleted .gitmodules and all submodule build rules
A shallow #Git clone with shallow clones of the #submodule’s:
