Question

I have a single project and I want to pull two more repositories from my server into it. I’m getting a problem where one of the submodules is pulling in code from both repositories, though.

One submodule needs to be within

/projectroot/application/models

The other

/projectroot/library/NameSpace

This is what I do:

cd projectroot
git submodule add ssh://[e-mail]:/var/repositories/models.git application/models

This works wonderfully; my application/models contains what it needs to. So I move onto the next:

git submodule add ssh://[e-mail]:/var/repositories/NameSpace.git library/NameSpace

I take a look in

/projectroot/library/NameSpace

and I have ALL files from both repositories in there.
I should probably also note that

git submodule

correctly lists both submodules added as expected.

Am I missing something crucial here? Is it something I have done wrong with initializing the individual repositories? I have attempted this process ~3 times now.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Not sure if this can be considered an answer, but I managed to fix it by re-cloning the entire project (before I had added the submodules). I then tried to add the submodules in again and it worked.

Somewhere along the line Git/ something else was getting confused.

Thanks anyway.
