monorepo-deploy

A sample deployment monorepo with git submodules, using CircleCI.

Submodule changes are detected using the git-submodule-changes orb.

Usage

Clone the repo:

~/src$ git clone git@github.com:ButterflyNetwork/monorepo-deploy.git
~/src$ cd monorepo-deploy

This repo keeps track of the deployed revisions as Git submodules. Update submodules to match remote in your local checkout before making any changes, by running, in the repo root:

~/src/monorepo-deploy$ git submodule update --init

To update a specific repo, go into the submodule and check out the desired commit:

~/src/monorepo-deploy$ git checkout -b update
~/src/monorepo-deploy$ cd project-one
~/src/monorepo-deploy/project-one$ git checkout develop
~/src/monorepo-deploy/project-one$ git pull

Go back to the repo root and commit this as an update to the repo:

~/src/monorepo-deploy/project-one$ cd ..
~/src/monorepo-deploy$ git add project-one
~/src/monorepo-deploy$ git commit

Submit this as a PR. When you merge the PR, CircleCI will run a workflow that "deploys" only the repos/submodules that were changed.
