* Package name : git-subrepo Version : 0.3.1 Upstream Author : Ingy dot Net <i...@ingy.net> * URL : https://github.com/ingydotnet/git-subrepo * License : MIT Programming Lang: shell Description : Git Submodule Alternative This git command "clones" an external git repo into a subdirectory of your repo. Later on, upstream changes can be pulled in, and local changes can be pushed back. This command is an improvement from git-submodule and git-subtree; two other git commands with similar goals, but various problems. It assumes there are 3 main roles of people interacting with a repo, and attempts to serve them all well: - - owner - The person who authors/owns/maintains a repo. - - users - People who are just using/installing the repo. - - collaborators - People who commit code to the repo and subrepos. The git-subrepo command benefits these roles in the following ways: * Simple and intuitive commandline usage (with tab completion). * Users get your repo and all your subrepos just by cloning your repo * Users do not need to install git-subrepo, ever. * Collaborators do not need to install unless they want to push/pull. * Collaborators know when a subdir is a subrepo (it has a .gitrepo file) * The .gitrepo file never gets pushed back to the subrepo upstream * Well named branches and remotes are generated for manual operations * Owners do not deal with the complications of keeping submodules in sync. * Subrepo repositories can contain subrepos themselves. * Branching with subrepos JustWorks. * Different branches can have different subrepos in different states, etc. * Moving/renaming/deleting a subrepo subdir JustWorks. * You can init an existing subdirectory into a subrepo. * Your git history is kept squeaky clean. * Upstream history (clone/pull) is condensed into a single commit. * Pulls can use a merge, rebase or force strategies. * You can see the subrepo history with git log subrepo/<subdir>/fetch. * Commits pushed back upstream are not condensed (by default). * Trivial to try any subrepo operations and then reset back. * No configuration required. * Does not introduce history that messes up other git commands. * Fixes known rebase failures with git-subtree. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJEBAEBCgAuFiEESvqqiCmYrIkee91NVGXnfnh27QQFAlvKChgQHHZhcmFjQHZh cmFjLm5ldAAKCRBUZed+eHbtBNijD/9MSuRwEL5S3H5ILr6AN0sCxP9H7ubXvWo1 /1lEWQ4ILqHskUdbSkWeB8i5nXCOcISl0OWp1/AZ3GONhxEoaMV8zI2SD+RDc/bz JgFNcXCV0q822ufR6o+cFYs0CwinEnIYqeIMye6CACmmhKGb5nREpijpB4E8q2li TPHFEb33113weQ+KPPtbJcBY/IUlg30CwZuSsSiALCObRtcf+aXtyp2+1sDblI8w 4QAgj9NV6QGBX/KgLpeph5HWfacDkYPyw0vKTS4ZusvedEZw6ygZegFbthCZz9Q5 I5wkUubVKAGeflEhIOrq8EL9C6HeGpaTBmRHwIJpasZ9gM1xsBrljZ65IE1XlC+q VVTSU1u2jJT6mo+PR12xMeHqTSdlmW65w+yEQJ8g5jYHKoM2j4Y63XJKmimlWa/9 C37jpGyRv+UXaIopZMMo4TGDkE+vTo5TiqxGOLenNImj0wa3R8plDa0Sv1jfnvd4 9d/p0Wcc01STCLOt3d3RPKy0K65QB80CIFcghgY0cjbWPR6hmxQ4/5eSYBcBwCFw YMzpvk8hNeazdPRbtvKCOHw7lytyq7XuyBQ049IP2ve9ajzbDZmwXN19Edorx5K1 WqlZaxRpjevCAQ9F3fGYI06y5e5v8FwYZqG78Yky/D0ux4Cd8ODo3nboQ61B6fn/ CNIF59VpCQ== =fgWu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
