Your Castorfile being filled up, you can now apply it

castor apply

This will automatically create your repositories hierarchy, checkout submodules, etc. The root of this hierarchy will be the lodge directory.

If you want to execute post freeze commands on apply add the --exec-post-freeze argument like so :

castor apply --exec-post-freeze

Now you can freeze your project into a git-free, commitable and deployable tree of source code. This will go into the dam directory.

If you want to execute post freeze commands on apply add the --exec-post-freeze argument like so :

castor apply --exec-post-freeze

castor freeze

You can use the lodge as your working directory during development. If you make updates to the code, you can commit in the git repos. If you simply want to update upstream code, check out the new tag/commit you want to use. Then you can use castor freeze again, and it will update the Castorfile automatically with the latest Git HEADs, as well as the dam directory.
