I'm dealing with jenkins' workflow. My project includes another big project that I'd like to use sparse checkout feature. I've found a couple of issues so far:
(1) I don't know how to clone a repo into a new directory
git url:'https://some.git.server/project.git', param1:'value1',...
(2) inside the above project perform a sparse checkout
I couldn't find any groovy syntax specification.
Below is the script version I want to do using groovy
git clone https://some.git.server/project.git
cd project/subdir
git init
git remote add -f origin https://some.git.server/another.project.git
echo Source/Base > .git\info\parse-checkout
echo Source/Core > .git\info\parse-checkout
git pull origin master
...
Thanks in advance.
check SCMs out (Multiple SCMs tag), I'm afraid it will help you to answer your first question.
About the second question I cannot answer it, but you can dig around checkout tag, it's a generic SCM command, for instance:
checkout ([$class: '...', source: '...'])
You could find an exhaustive list of workflow compatible commands.
Regards!
