Skill instructions
Context Use when a curriculum or tooling repo needs to pin a large external app at a specific commit for local participant use, but: - The app is too large to vendor in-tree - Most users don't need it (lazy fetch is preferred) - The exact commit must be guaranteed (drift check required) - Participants need a stable path regardless of internal submodule layout Patterns 1. Register submodule without cloning bash Create empty working-tree placeholder mkdir -p external/<name Write gitlink directly into git index at the pinned SHA (no network) git update-index --add --cacheinfo 160000,<sha,external/<name Register URL + shallow=true in .gitmodules cat .gitmodules << EOF [submodule "external/<name"] path = external/<name url = <url shallow = true EOF git add .gitmodules This produces a valid submodule registration (gitlink + URL) without any network access. The gitlink object in the parent repo's tree stores the exact SHA. 2. Committed symlink for stable paths bash ln -s external/<name app or
