######################## # GithubDirToSubmodule # By Nick Yeates nyeates1 at umbc dot edu # These set of shell scripts will automate the moving of many git # subdirectories in an existing git repository. It moves directories, # one by one, into separate repos, and then makes a submodule reference # to that new seperate repo. The submodule is put into the original # parent repo. # # Use the below workflow to use both of the files and an output.txt # file in unison, to complete the job of transfering many directories # over to seperate repos and submodules. # # See Notes in directoryList.sh and "Assumes" and "Troubleshooting" # sections in githubDirToSubmodule.sh for additional information. ######################## Workflow How to use the various files to turn sub-directories into separate repos and submodules =Which sub-directories= 1) Update directoryList.sh with the 'Directory' variable referring to the repo where you have many subdirectories 2) Run directoryList.sh and examine output - look that all directories you want are there and look right - assure that each line looks like: /path/to/dir/nameOfDir nameOfDir/ 3) Output to a file Ex: ./directoryList.sh > output.txt 4) Remove any directories that you dont want separated =Change sub-directories into repos and submodules= 1) Set variables in githubDirToSubmodule.sh - ParentRepoPath, DirectoryListingFile. NewContainingDir, GitHubUserName, GitHubToken and SuperprojectPath - Assure that directories and repos exist 2) Assure that "break" is NOT commented out - We want to only let the loop run once in order to test it and see that it works - This is especially important if you have many subdirectories that you are running this on 3) Run loop once - ./githubDirToSubmodule.sh - Look for good output 4) Remove first directory from output.txt - We have run it on this first one, and so now only need to run it on the others 5) Run script on all other directories - remove the "break" to do this - ./githubDirToSubmodule.sh
