git-lad

Make git follow symlinks again, but easier

Compare with GitBSLR

Pros:

  • This repo only provides an symlink-agnostic alternative for git add. The behavior of Git itself is totally predictable, compared to that of GitBSLR.
  • This is just a several link bash script compared to that of a thousand-line C++ program.
  • You don't need LD_PRELOAD or anything magic.
  • This one fully supports submodules.

Cons:

  • git status doesn't work. Any changes towards symlink itself nor the linked file(s) will NOT be visible in git status.
  • git update-index --skip-worktree is called. You are responsible for making sure that everything is up-to-date.
  • git rebase and git merge may work or not work.
  • You must specify individual files/submodules to add, instead of a folder.
  • No built-in glob support. Use your shell's glob.
  • No .gitignore support.

Usage

  • Case 1: Symlink to a file (or submodule)
1. Suppose you are inside a repo in which `file` is a symlink to a regular file `/opt/file`.

    ```sh
    # git init
    touch /opt/file
    ln -sfT /opt/file file
    ```

1. To properly add the file `/opt/file`:

    ```sh
    git lad file
    ```
  • Case 2: Symlink to a folder
1. Suppose you are inside a repo in which `data` is a symlink to folder `/opt/data`.

    ```sh
    # git init
    mkdir -p /opt/data
    ln -sfT /opt/file data
    ```

1. To properly add a file `/opt/data/f`: (submodules inside `/opt/data` follow the same syntax)

    ```sh
    # touch /opt/data/f
    git lad file/f
    ```

1. Note that `git lad file` is forbidden. You have to specify individual files.

Installation

Install git-get first and then:

sh git get b1f6c1c4/git-lad -o ~/.local/bin/ -- git-lad export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
