This repository was archived by the owner on Sep 1, 2025. It is now read-only.
When running m . <job> to execute a job from the current repository's makes.nix, the framework clones the local repository into a temporary directory but fails to include git submodules and doesn't have git lfs available during the cloning process. This creates significant limitations for our projects that use git submodules and/or git lfs when trying to use makes for CI/CD tasks.
Expected Behavior
When executing m . <job>, the command should clone the local repository along with all initialized git submodules
Git LFS should be available during the cloning/copying process to handle LFS-tracked files properly
Current Behavior
Only tracked and modified files from the main repository are copied to the temporary directory
Git submodules are completely ignored and not included
Git LFS is not available during the cloning process, causing failures with our repositories that have git hooks (e.g. post-checkout) and depend on git lfs
Steps to Reproduce
Create a git repository with initialized submodules and/or git lfs tracked files
Add a makes.nix file with a job definition
Run m . <job>
Observe that submodules are missing from the temporary directory
If using git lfs with hooks, observe cloning failures due to missing git lfs
Suggested Fix
Modify the repository cloning logic to include initialized submodule files when copying local repositories
Ensure git lfs is available in the environment during the cloning/copying process
Optional: Consider adding configuration options to control submodule cloning behavior if needed for performance reasons
