git submodule pull and commit automatically on webserver
- by Lukas Oppermann
I have the following setup, I am working on a project project with the submodule submodule. Whenever I push changes to github it sends a post request to update.php on the server.
This php file executes a git command. Without submodules I can just do a git pull and everything is fine but with submodules it is much more difficult.
I have this at the moment, but it does not do what I want. I should git pull the repo and update and pull the latest version of each submodule.
<?php echo `git submodule foreach 'git checkout master; git pull;
git submodule update --init --recursive; git commit -m "updating"' && git pull &&
git submodule foreach 'git add -A .'
&& git commit -m "updating to latest version including submodules" 2>&1s`;
EDIT//
Okay, I got it half way done.
<?php echo `git submodule foreach 'git checkout master; git pull;
git submodule update --init --recursive; git commit -am "updating"; echo "updated"' &&
git pull && git commit -am "updating to latest version including submodules" &&
echo 'updated'`;
The echo prevents the script to stop because of non-zero returned. It works 100% fine when I run it from the console using php update.php.
When github initialized the file, or I run it from the browser it still does not work.
Any ideas?
