Following Miguel Aveiro's link, I noticed a parameter called subpath that I had never see:

This parameter may provide you the feature you are looking for.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I had thought about using this solution initially. In my case I have a common git repo for some 20 different applications and planning to write an individual recipe for each application.

If I plan to use in this way, I have 20 copies in my disk which I don't want to have.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: RE: Sub-directories from Git in SRC-URI

Hi,

Here is one way to manage this use case.
In the SRC_URI variable, you set the git repo access.
Now let's say that your sub-directory relative path is "src/myapp".
Son now you just have to add to your recipe this line:

S = "${WORKDIR}/git/src/myapp"

It is not optimized from a disk usage point of view (a full copy of the repo files is in ${WORKDIR}/git) but it works.

Hallo,

May I now is it possible to include a sub-directory from git repo in the SRC_URI of bitbake recipe.

Also in SRC_URI is it possible to include a directory instead of a single file?

I know I could create a tar file of a directory and include it , but I would like to know is it possible to include directory as a SRC_URI.
