Submodule specgen_common_assets and treat as source of truth #35
Description
Follows from #34
Once the specgen_common_assets repository is created, the batch file to execute specgen needs to start by:
- updating the local copy (submodule) of specgen_common_assets
- copying the files from specgen_common_assets into the right place for specgen to use them
So do the following:
- Get the git address of your new repository, from the Code button on its home page:
It will be something like https://github.com/Access4LearningNA/specgen_common_assets.git
- Go to your CLI tool and navigate to your copy of specgen_input_na
- Issue the command
git submodule add https://github.com/Access4LearningNA/specgen_common_assets.git specgen_common_assets. This will schedule Github to create a folder called specgen_common_assets, which will contain the contents of that repo. - Issue the command
git submodule update --init --recursive. That will download the contents of the repo into that folder - In your batch file to generate the spec, add at the start the command
git submodule update --remote --merge. This updates the contents of all your submodule folders to the latest content from their source repos - In your batch file, add the command
cp specgen_common_assets/*.* 98_xslt, or equivalent, to copy all content across from the folder into the sourcetree of specgen_input. You can elect to remove the corresponding files under 98_xslt in specgen_input, since the source of truth for those files is now specgen_common_assets, and they are just copied across to 98_xslt
