LT Courses Code Repository

Source code of projects related to courses taught by LT (also student projects).

In general consider to add projects as git submodules. Submodules appear as folders in the git repository hierarchy (although with a changed icon in github) and refer to other git repositories (which might even be private).

Working with submodules using watson_speechandtext_demo as example:

goal: have remstef/WatsonSpeechTextDemo as a submodule in tudarmstadt-lt/courses/qa-examples/watson_speechandtext_demo

1. clone tudarmstadt-lt/courses repository

$ git clone https://github.com/tudarmstadt-lt/courses.git courses-lt ```

2. add submodule

courses-lt/qa-examples$ git submodule add https://github.com/remstef/WatsonSpeechTextDemo.git watson_speechandtext_demo ```

3. within the submodule folder everything is standard git and refers to the remote repository of the submodule, e.g. git pull, to update the contents from remstef/WatsonSpeechTextDemo or git commit and git push to push edited content to remstef/WatsonSpeechTextDemo.

4. sync new content from the submodule's repository with the main repository (pull changes, commit updates, push changes)

courses-lt/qa-examples/watson_speechandtext_demo$ git pull courses-lt/qa-examples$ git commit watson_speechandtext_demo -m 'updated submodule' courses-lt/qa-examples$ git push ```

Notes

• When you clone tudarmstadt-lt/courses, the submodules are not cloned, they appear as empty folders. Run the following commands to pull the content:

$ git submodule init $ git submodule update ```

Alternatively you can add the --recursive switch to the git clone command in order to tell git to checkout also the submodules. $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/tudarmstadt-lt/courses.git courses-lt

• In any place of the hierarchy, type git remote -v in order to see the remote path of the current git related commands!
• For an overview of submodules in check .gitmodules file in the root directory of the repository
