all-data

A conglomerate of 4 other data-* repos (as submodules)

The way to clone these to collaboration server is as follows:

cd /home/existdb
git clone --recursive [email protected]:84000/all-data.git exist-sync

How to make new commits to this repo

The nature of this repo is that it serves as a common container for its 4 submodules while not having files of its own. So any change introduced is a change to one of its submodules. As these changes amass, we would naturally want to have a new release commit of the all-data repo. This is how to do it:

CD into the base dir of your all-data repo then issue the following 4 commands:

git submodule update --recursive --remote
git add .
git commit -m "<commit message here>"
git push

Then anyone cloning the repo with git clone --recursive [email protected]:84000/all-data.git will get the new state of the submodules.

If you also want to make each of your submodules track its master branch (not needed unless you plan to cd into a submodule's dir, change some files and commit them), this is the way to do it:

git submodule foreach --recursive git checkout master
