git-submanage

Simple scripts to manage git submodules

Usage

Clone and add the scripts to your $PATH: Either link them to a directory already in your PATH, or add this folder to your PATH.

Scripts

git-sub-commit-changelog

Commit the changelog for a pending submodule

Commits the updated submodule with the changelog as the commit description.

git-sub-ff-and-commit

Grab master if it's at our current commit, skip to origin's master, commit a changelog to parent repo.

To apply to all submodules, you can use:

git submodule foreach "cd - ; echo git sub-ff-and-commit \$name $*"

git-sub-update

Apply remote changes to submodules.

Sync all urls, update HEAD to match remote, and use master branch if it's at HEAD.

git-use-branch-if-already-there

Checkout input branch if it matches the current commit

Useful to ensure submodules are using a branch (since they're usually at the same commit as master, but the branch isn't automatically checked out).

Generally, this is used by other scripts (sub-update and sub-ff-and-commit).
