`git clone project2` in gitlab-ci.yml?

Question

I\'d like Gitlab CI to fetch source code of another project. Is there a better way than adding a read-only deploy key and setting it up in .gitlab-ci.yml?

Answer 1

You can also use GIT SUBMODULES within your project A to refer to project B and then add

GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive

to the gitlab-ci.yml file in project A.

This also enables you to specifically include a specific branch or commit from your subproject.
