Hey all, If you''re like me and use git submodules heavily (I vendor everything, and every plugin is a submodule), you might like to hear about code published this morning to make it easier to manage multiple git submodules in a shared-server environment. It''s imaginatively titled ''git-rake'', and it does Good Things like: * aggregates submodule commit logs into the superproject commit log * abbreviates output for git-status and other common commands (filters out what you don''t need to see) * ensures you don''t publish references to local-only submodule commits (which, if you haven''t done it, is painful) * intelligently synchronizes all submodules with the shared repo server (no unneeded network requests) * allows arbitrary commands to be iterated over all submodules * a few other nice sanity checks and commands If you think the rake tasks might be useful, or you''re wondering why dealing with many submodules can be a pain, check out the announcement post: http://flavoriffic.blogspot.com/2008/05/managing-git-submodules-with-gitrake.html and, of course, the github project: http://github.com/mdalessio/git-rake/tree <shameless-plug> We''ve been using it internally at my company, Pharos Enterprise Intelligence (http://www.pharos-ei.com/), for the last 5 months and it''s been a huge timesaver for us (each of our client projects have 14+ submodules, so that''s motivation for you). We''ve been looking for opportunities to open-source some of our code, and hey, this is where we''re starting. </shameless-plug> Comments welcome. -m --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
