如何将git子模块推送到AWS Elastic Beanstalk？

Question

I have a repo named ld with a submodule named ldapp , which is a Django project. I want to push the Django project ldapp to elastic beanstalk, but I get the warning following warning when running eb init :

Warning: Your directory has not been initialized as a Git repository. To create a local Git repository, run "git init" and then re-run the "eb init" command.

If I continue on and run eb push I get:

git: 'aws.push' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. Cannot run aws.push for local repository HEAD:

The way git structures submodules is it actually has the .git of the submodule be a file , not a directory . The following is the contents of the file ldapp/.git:

gitdir: ../.git/modules/ldapp

This file tells git to retrieve ldapp's versions from ld's .git directory . Since the .git versioning of ldapp is not present within ldapp itself (but rather within ld's .git ), running eb init and eb push fail. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

I don't think you can. I had to git clone the submodule to get back a standalone Git repository.
