Working with submodules

Pull & push twice

1. Pull twice: On the main repository execute git pull && git submodule foreach git pull.
2. Push twice: Work with the code in any submodule as usual. Commit and push as usual. At the end, go to the main repository and check what a git status shows. It will normally show that a particular repo has changed. For example:

Say we have a main repo called robot and a submodule called sensor. If we update it, we have to commit twice, one for the submodule and another for the main repo.

  $ ls robot/
       ./
       ../
       sensor/
  $ cd sensor
  $ git touch test.txt
  $ git add test.txt
  $ git commit -m "added file test"
  $ git push
  $ cd ..
  $ git status
      On branch master
      Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

      Changes not staged for commit:
        (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
        (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)

        modified:   sensor (modified content)

      no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
  $ git add sensor
  $ git commit -m "updated sensor reference"
  $ git push

Remove submodule

To remove a submodule you need to:

• Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
• Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
• Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
• Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
• Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
• Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
• Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule

Packages to ignor if using it outside of the robot

• m4atx_battery_monitor
• pointgrey_camera_driver
