Course Template

This is an example repository for a course made up of multiple modules.

Cloning the repository

To checkout a repository made up of submodules please use

git clone REPO_URL --recursive

Adding modules to the course respository as submodules

To add a submodule to the repository use

git submodule add https://github.com/WTAC-NGS/igv

By default, the submodule will be added into a directory named the same as the repository i.e. igv

To use a different directory name for example module_igv use

git submodule add https://github.com/WTAC-NGS/igv module_igv

This will create a new folder named igv/module_igv which contains a full clone of the source repository and a new .gitmodules file.

The .gitmodules configuration file stores the mapping between the project’s URL and the local subdirectory you’ve pulled it into:

 `[submodule "igv"]`
  
  `path = igv`
  
  `url = https://github.com/WTAC-NGS/igv`

By default this new submodule will be tracking HEAD of the master branch. If you want your submodule to point to a specific tagged release use

cd igv

git checkout ngs_2020

cd ..

Then you will need to commit the changes and push them

git add .

git commit -m "Added submodule igv"

git push origin main
