The best way to synchronize files across repos in Gitlab?
Hey guys, I'm looking for a good way to synchronize one file across multiple repos in Gitlab. To be more precise:
• I have to synchronize only a single exact .xml file across repos
• The file is located at different paths in each repo (so I don't think submodules are the most optimal way), for example:
• \`repo\_root/def.xml\`
• \`repo\_root/msg\_definitions/v1.0/def.xml\`
• \`repo\_root/msgs/def.xml\`
• We have a separate main repo that holds only this file and serves as the ground truth
Of course I can make it as a submodule, but in that case I'll have to modify Makefiles, CMakeLists, etc. So what is the best way to handle this task:
• in the easiest way for me
• so that almost nothing changes for my colleagues in their workflow
• so that it’s as safe as possible and doesn’t cause git conflicts (if implemented via Gitlab CI)
