GH_TUPLE generator for GitHub projects with submodules

This helper script automates the generation of GH_TUPLE values for GitHub projects that utilize submodules. It is specifically designed to assist FreeBSD ports developers in their workflow.

Purpose

FreeBSD ports developers often encounter projects hosted on GitHub that make use of submodules. Manually creating the GH_TUPLE values for such projects can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when dealing with recursive submodules. This script simplifies the process by automating the generation of these values, saving developers valuable time and effort.

Usage

Show help:

$ submodules2tuple -h
Usage: submodules2tuples [OPTIONS] repository_url
Options:
  -h                Show help text
  -b <branch|tag>   Specify a branch or tag to use (e.g. v0.2.105)
  -v                Verbose output
  -s                Silent output

Create tuples for a project:

$ submodules2tuple -b v0.2.105 https://github.com/mywave82/opencubicplayer.git
