Submodules

See https://github.com/loym-com/tools-odoo-sh

Script

The script will only work for branch named Staging.

nano ~/submodules.sh  # Paste the script below

# DO FIRST TIME
prepare() {
  git config --global user.email "henrik@loym.com"
  git config --global user.name "Henrik Norlin"
  mkdir -p ~/.ssh
}

# STAGING: UPDATE ALL SUBMODULES
update() {
  first
  git submodule update --init --remote
  git commit -am "git submodule update"
  git push --set-upstream origin Staging
}

# STAGING: ADD ONE MODULE (not in OCA yet, therefore "beta")
beta() {
  first
  gh_user=$1
  gh_repo=$2
  gh_branch=$3
  module=$4
  path=beta/.$module
  ln_target=.$module/$module
  ln_link=beta/$module
  url="git@github.com:$gh_user/$gh_repo.git"
  git submodule add -b $gh_branch $url $path && ln -s $ln_target $ln_link && git add --all && git commit -m "beta $module" && git push --set-upstream origin Staging
}

# UPDATE() AND BETA() WILL DO THIS FIRST
first() {
  chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
  eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
  ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
  cd ~/src/user
  git checkout Staging
}

eval $@

chmod +x ~/update_submodules && bash ~/update_submodules prepare && nano -p ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
# Paste your private key

bash ~/update_submodules main

If you see this in the log:

modified:   my-user/my-repo (modified content)

Then do the command on the line below (replace my-user/my-repo and consider if you really want to reset):

cd ~/src/user/my-user/my-repo && git reset --hard && cd ~/src/user && bash ~/update_submodules main

Add submodules

odoo.sh user interface

Update submodules

First time

Create key pair, store them outside of odoo.sh and copy the public key into Github.

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

clip < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519  # Paste in a safe place

clip < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub  # Paste in a safe place, and in https://github.com/settings/keys

New build

Prepare private key

nano ~/.ssh/id_ed25519  # Paste your private key

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

Before updating submodules

Activate the private key

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

Update submodules and push to repo

Go to the repo of the odoo.sh project.

cd ~/src/user

Check that you are in the correct branch.

git branch

Switch to the branch you want to be in.

git checkout <branch name>

Update the submodules.

git submodule update --init --remote

See the result.

git status

Commit the changes.

git commit -am "git submodule update"

Push the latest commit to the repo.

git push

First push should be like this:

git push --set-upstream origin <branch name>

If git push was successful, the default behavior of odoo.sh is to update previous build.

In odoo.sh go to builds and see if a container is rebuilding.
