Morning
I have a git repo called configurations. I want to add the directory /etc/ansible to the repo.
Problem is when I clone the repo, I am not able to commit the ansible directory as the ansible root directory is outside the repo?
Is there a way of getting the ansible directory into git without using a symlink?
Would a pre-commit hook to copy the config files into your repo (before committing) do what you need?
[- snippet starts -] # create or append /path/to/repo/.git/hooks/pre-commit
cp -r /etc/ansible ./etc/ansible git add ./etc/ansible
[- snippet ends -]
If this strategy works for you, you might want to keep a copy of the pre-commit file in your repo and just symlink to it from .git/hooks - just be sure to note the pre-commit symlink in your README for other any other (or future) developers. This will work for me. Tried it yesterday and its working fine. Thanks a lot guys for the various idea
