Task: Access the files of a folder from repo A inside repo B.
I checked the include keyword in GitLab but that is used only for .yml files. I want to read the contents of a folder in repo B after it is imported from repo A.
Is there any way to do it using the .yml file?
I think the only way to include a folder of another git repository is using a git submodule. You can add a submodule with the command:
git submodule add -b <branch> git@<repo-B> path/where/to/add/repo-B
Then it's necessary to add the following variable in the job that requires the folder:
myjob:
