Re: [ptp-user] synchronized project and git submodule

I’ll answer my own question in case anyone else wonders.

 

I removed the submodules from the main git project, but left the code in the subdirectories, temporarily moved the *.git folders of the sub projects out of the tree,

Set up the synchronized project so that everything was synced - including the not-any-more-submodules. then copied back the *.git folders in the subdirs.

 

PTP sees one large project with subdirectories, but I can still cd into them and do git operations in the sub trees. I can live without git thinking they’re submodules as I check out branches in each by hand anyway.

 

Seems reasonably stable and I have it synced on several machines without problem. I suspect I could have left the *.git stuff in place in the subdirs but I moved it away before the first sync just in case ptp noticed it and tried to do anything funny. (actually, when I synced it on the second machine it was still there, so it probably doesn’t hurt).

Subject: [ptp-user] synchronized project and git submodule

 

I’m having trouble getting a synchronized project to sync when I have a git submodule inside my main git project.

 

Errors vary depending on what level of trickery I use to try to get it working, but in general it’s a sync fail on the subdirectory representing the submodule.

 

Is it possible to use submodules?

 

thanks
