Spring Cloud Config Git Backend with a monorepo strategy

Question

How do I configure Spring Cloud Config with a Git backend following a monorepo strategy? Say, my repo name is mono-repo, and my application config lies in a feature branch feature/cloud-application-config, and the configurations are in a directory named application-config, how do I configure the Config Server to clone this repository and get config from this feature branch?

Answer 1

Adding the property spring.cloud.config.label=feature(_)cloud-application-config (which specifies the branch) in both the config server and its clients did the trick. But I also had to modify spring.cloud.config.server.git.searchPaths to :

spring:
  cloud:
    config:
      server:
        git:
          uri: ...
          searchPaths:
            - application-config
            - "application-config/{application}"

      label: feature(_)cloud-application-config

I had to add both paths to searchPaths because otherwise, it would not get the properties from the common application-<profile>.yml files, or from the directories which have the application name.
