######################### 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.########################WorkflowHow 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 subdirectories2) 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.txt4) 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 exist2) 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 on3) Run loop once - ./githubDirToSubmodule.sh - Look for good output4) Remove first directory from output.txt - We have run it on this first one, and so now only need to run it on the others5) Run script on all other directories - remove the "break" to do this - ./githubDirToSubmodule.sh
