Feature Request to Support for Github Submodules in Prefect Projects

[akmukherjee]

I have a feature request for Submodules initialization in Prefect Projects. Currently my prefect.yaml looks as shown below:

# Generic metadata about this project
name: icdc-dataloader
prefect-version: 2.10.4

# build section allows you to manage and build docker images
build: null

# push section allows you to manage if and how this project is uploaded to remote locations
push: null

# pull section allows you to provide instructions for cloning this project in remote locations
pull:
- prefect.projects.steps.git_clone_project:
    repository: https://github.com/CBIIT/icdc-dataloader
    branch: icdc-dl-prefectv1
    access_token: null

This set up does not pull the submodules associated with this repo. It would be nice to have a field say: submodules: true and then prefect deployment would run a git submodule --init with each deployment.

This is now possible with include_submodules=True in the git_clone step. See docs here
