WG: Working with the SIRI submodule - VDVde/OJP GitHub Wiki

I worked with git for Desktop and it created a big mess, when using the new submodule for siri.

To get a local copy, I had to:

• reclone the repository with "git for Desktop"
• You need a local git installed as well: https://gitforwindows.org/
• Don't change branch it git for Desktop!!!
• in git do: git checkout upsteam_siri_v1.1 (or the branch that you need)
• remove the siri subdirectory
• git init
• git ls-files --stage siri
• git rm --cached siri
• git submodule add https://github.com/SIRI-CEN/SIRI siri (perhaps this can be omitted now, that the difference SIRI to siri is gone.
• git submodule update siri
