I have created my own project and i want whole sdk commit to my repo. I am able to build the project. I am not able to commit the mcuboot, It showing the error you are not able to commit the git repository under another git repository.

1. If i remove the. git folder in the sdk then we are able to commit but nothing got committed in the mcuboot folder. I am Not able to build the project.

2. I have tried to create the mcuboot as repository which conitain same file which mcboot repo having and add as the sunmodule to my repo, still i am facing the build issue.

Can you please explain the by removing the .git folder we are facing the build issue. What is role of .git folder of mcuboot for successfully building of the project.

How i can commit the whole Nordic SDK  and mcuboot  folders in my repository

Hi,

The nRF Connect SDK uses a multi-repo structure. Rather than moving away from that, you should keep the structure, and rather fork the repositories in the SDK itself.

I recommend you read through these documentation pages:

https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.1.2/nrf/dm_code_base.html

https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.1.2/zephyr/develop/application/index.html#application-types

https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.1.2/zephyr/develop/west/manifest.html#west-manifests

My recommendation is that you fork the repositories you are interested in, and then update the West manifest files to use your forks.

Best regards,

Didrik

Hi 

I need to commit the whole sdk repository to my project repository. I am not able to commit because we can't commit the a repository into another repository .

I have tried to fork the sdk repo and commit it to my project repo, but still i am facing same issue.

Could you please suggest is there any other way to achieve this requirement.

Why do you need to have everything in one repository?

NCS is built up with multiple repositories, with West to manage them. That way, you can have one repository that contains all version info, etc., so developers in a team always work on the same version.

Hi Didrik,

Central_Pepo is my main repository inside this i am committing my application source code and the SDK folder,inside this i want to commit the whole SDK 1.9.1 version.

But inside the SDK folder am not able to commit the whole sdk because it is giving me error saying inside git repository not able to commit another git repository.

Is there is another way to achieve this? Please let me know if any more information you needed on this.
