This code adds a remote repository ("MEDIA") as a submodule within the "PROJECT1" project, enabling version control and management of both projects together.

Run example

npm run import -- "git add submodule"

git add submodule

cd /path/to/PROJECT1
git submodule add ssh://path.to.repo/MEDIA
git commit -m "Added Media submodule"

git submodule update --init

#!/bin/bash

# Define constants
PROJECT_DIR="/path/to/PROJECT1"
MEDIA_REPO="ssh://path.to.repo/MEDIA"

# Navigate to the project directory
cd "$PROJECT_DIR" || {
  echo "Failed to navigate to $PROJECT_DIR"
  exit 1
}

# Add the media submodule
git submodule add "$MEDIA_REPO" || {
  echo "Failed to add $MEDIA_REPO as a submodule"
  exit 1
}

# Commit the changes with a meaningful message
git commit -m "Added $MEDIA_REPO as a submodule" || {
  echo "Failed to commit changes"
  exit 1
}

# Initialize and update the submodules
git submodule update --init || {
  echo "Failed to update submodules"
  exit 1
}

This code snippet sets up a Git submodule to include a remote repository named "MEDIA" within a project called "PROJECT1".

Here's a breakdown:

1. cd /path/to/PROJECT1:

   • Navigates to the directory containing the "PROJECT1" project.

2. git submodule add ssh://path.to.repo/MEDIA:

   • Adds a submodule named "MEDIA" to the "PROJECT1" repository, pointing to the specified remote repository using SSH.

3. git commit -m "Added Media submodule":

   • Commits the addition of the submodule to the "PROJECT1" repository with a descriptive message.

4. git submodule update --init:

   • Updates the submodule, initializing it within the "PROJECT1" repository and fetching the latest changes from the remote repository.

In essence, this code snippet integrates a separate repository ("MEDIA") as a submodule within the "PROJECT1" project, allowing for version control and management of both projects together.
