This repository is to be used as a git-subrepo.

git-subrepo is available in the following repositories:

and in devel:openQA, e.g. https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/openQA:/Leap:/15.2/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/

To use it in your repository, you would usually do something like this:

% cd your-repo
% git subrepo clone [email protected]:os-autoinst/os-autoinst-common.git ext/os-autoinst-common

This will automatically create a commit with information on what command was used.

And then, if necessary, link files via symlinks to the places where you need them.

The cloned repository files will be part of your actual repository, so anyone cloning this repo will have the files automatically without needing to use git-subrepo themselves.

ext is just a convention, you can clone it into any directory.

It's also possible to clone a branch (or a specific tag or sha):

% git subrepo clone [email protected]:os-autoinst/os-autoinst-common.git \
    -b branchname ext/os-autoinst-common

After cloning, you should see a file ext/os-autoinst-common/.gitrepo with information about the cloned commit.

To get the latest changes, you can pull:

% git subrepo pull ext/os-autoinst-common

If that doesn't work for whatever reason, you can also simply reclone it like that:

% git subrepo clone --force [email protected]:os-autoinst/os-autoinst-common.git ext/os-autoinst-common

If you make changes in the subrepo inside of your top repo, you can simply commit them and then do:

% git subrepo push ext/os-autoinst-common
