git freeze

Convert submodules to regular directories

Why

External dependencies break everytime. We want to manage everything by ourselves!

Install

git clone --depth=1 [email protected]:b1f6c1c4/git-freeze.git
git config --global alias.freeze '!'"$(pwd)/git-freeze/git-freeze"

Usage

Usage: git-freeze [-h|--help] [-n|--dry-run]
        [--tree|--octopus] [--no-commit]
        [--keep-gitmodules]
        [--] <args-for-git-commit>

    Convert submodules to regular directories (of their HEADs)

    -n|--dry-run: Just list what commits will be freezed

    --tree: Don't modify anything, just give me the tree SHA-1
            (implies --no-commit)

    --octopus: Preserve history of all submodules by merging
        Warning: ENTIRE history of ALL submodules is a huge deal!

    --no-commit: Don't commit (like git merge --no-commit)

    --keep-git-modules: Do not remove the .gitmodules file

Note: Submodules will be converted to directories of which content are wherever their HEADs point to, NOT where the parent repo index points to.

If you wish to convert based on where the parent repo index points to, align the submodules HEADs with parent repo index first by:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Note: This tool only modify the parent repo. All submodules' worktrees are NOT touched.
