Dependency management between git repositories made easy
About
Git Dependencies is a tool that allows developers to establish and resolve dependencies between git projects, in the same way a package manager does in the system.
Quickstart
- Create a
gd.txt
file in the root directory of your project; - Express dependencies in the format:
REPO_URL RELATION HASH_OR_TAG
; - Where
RELATION
can be either==
,<=
or>=
; - Resolve the dependencies calling
gitdep clone_dir
.
The last command will resolve the dependencies recursively until de the dependencies for all repositories are met.
To be easily integrated with existing tools and scripts, gitdep clone_dir
will print a list of cloned repositories to stdout
along with their versions.
Versioning with GIT
The relation between versions (hashes and tags) is extracted from the git's internal tree, so a hash A
is older than B
if it A
is an ancestor of B
. Because of that, gitdep
can also detect version conflicts projects depend on hashes from different branches.
Multi-resolve
For testing, one may require additional dependencies, so gitdep
also supports a list of dependency files in the same format as gd.txt
, just call gitdep clone_dir project_dep_file test_dep_file
and it will resolve the dependencies together.
