Externals

Quickly freeze and unfreeze external git dependencies.

Installation

sudo gem install winton-externals

Configuration

Create config/externals.yml:

pa_stats:
  repo: git@github.com:br/pa_stats.git
  path: vendor/gems

Freeze or unfreeze

You can run either of these for the first time, depending on what you want:

externals freeze
externals unfreeze

The usual flow is to unfreeze, commit to the external, freeze, and commit to the parent project.

Your .git directories will be zipped and stored in /tmp when frozen, and moved back to the external when unfrozen.

Are my externals frozen?
