Hi, I am well-versed with Git but I haven't really ever had to use submodules. I am trying to create a git repository on our server that will host our yocto distribution. Our distribution will include the yocto repo, plus meta-openembedded repo, plus maybe some other layers.
The difficulty I have is thus: my_git_repo/ <--- what my platform developers will 'git clone' my_git_repo/yocto_git/... <-- yocto framework my_git_repo/yocto_git/meta-openembedded <-- another git repo nested inside yocto repo my_git_repo/yocto_git/meta-intel <-- another example layer. I would like for developers to be able to 'git clone' a single repo, but pull down all the necessary layers from various git repos. Basically it will comprise all repos, including yocto, OE layers, intel layers, etc. I believe the only way I can nest submodules inside pre-existing repos is for me to create a local clone of yocto git and add the submodules to that clone. That means the master git repo (my_git_repo in example above) will point to *our* clone of yocto git and not yocto project's git repo. In our local clone of yocto git, I will add a submodule for each layer I want to add. Does that make sense? Is this the right approach or is there a smarter way? -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
