git submodule update --remote --merge 产生致命：需要单个修订

Question

假设我有一个repo，其子模块结构如下：

[submodule "themes/sanskrit-documentation-theme-hugo"]
    path = themes/sanskrit-documentation-theme-hugo
    url = https://github.com/sanskrit-coders/sanskrit-documentation-theme-hugo.git
    update = merge
[submodule "content"]
    path = content
    url = https://github.com/vvasuki/kAvyam.git
    branch = content
    update = merge

在查看云端存储库时，我希望将所有子模块更新为来自各自远程分支的最新提交。

在 github 操作中，如果我运行（例如 here 和 workflow file）git submodule update --remote --merge，我会收到此错误 fatal: Needed a single revision。是什么赋予了？有其他选择吗？

尝试了替代方案

git submodule foreach "(git checkout $(git config -f $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch || echo master); git pull)&" - 这适用于我的计算机，但不适用于 github 操作（主分支是 wrongly checked out 用于子模块内容）。

Answer 1

问题似乎与操作/结帐步骤有关。以下工作：

在下面的操作中禁用子模块初始化

    - name: Checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@master
      with:
        submodules: false

手动更新：

    - name: Update submodules
      if: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request'}}
      run: |
        set -o xtrace
        git submodule update --init --recursive
        git submodule update --remote --merge --recursive

您正在使用1 的深度进行克隆，然后使用--depth 1 运行git pull --recurse-submodules 命令。我建议将大部分工作流程替换为我个人也经常使用的类似内容。

name: Submodule Update

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
    tags:
    - '*'
  schedule:
  - cron: '20 * * * *'

jobs:
  submodule-update:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@main
      with:
        # we need the submodules.
        submodules: recursive

    - name: Update submodule.
      run: git submodule update --remote

    # this creates a commit with the worker's working tree changes (in this case from the submodule update command) and pushes it to a branch named "app/updated-submodules".
    - name: Create Pull Request
      id: cpr
      uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@main
      with:
        # you will need an Personal Access Token if you want workflow runs to trigger inside of the created pull request created by this workflow.
        token: ${{ secrets.GITSYNC_TOKEN }}
        commit-message: Update submodules.
        # do not change it does not change anything other than the github-actions account basically pushes it.
        committer: GitHub <noreply@github.com>
        author: any user here <any user's noreply github email here>
        signoff: true
        branch: app/updated-submodules
        base: main
        # delete branch after merge.
        delete-branch: true
        title: 'Update submodules.'
        body: |
          Update submodules
