Submodule Configuration and Development Branch Synchronization

Summary

Synchronized all submodules (content, data, docs, site, ai-labs) to their development branches and properly integrated the latest master commit into the development branch.

Changes Made

  • Initialized and configured all submodules to track their respective development branches
  • Cherry-picked latest master commit (c69a74f7) into development branch
  • Updated package dependencies in site and docs submodules
  • Upgraded Astro dependencies to latest versions:
    • @astrojs/node: ^9.1.3
    • astro: ^5.5.4

Technical Details

Submodule Configuration

Branch Management

  • Successfully switched all submodules to development branch
  • Handled Git LFS issues in site submodule (image and SVG files showing as modified but hashes matching)
  • Empty cherry-pick handled with --allow-empty to maintain commit history integrity

Integration Points

  • Site submodule: Updated Astro and Node adapter versions
  • Docs submodule: Configured with Starlight theme and dependencies
  • All submodules now tracking their respective development branches

Documentation

Git Commands Used

bash 
# Switch all submodules to development
git submodule foreach 'git checkout development'

# Switch all submodules to master
git submodule foreach 'git checkout master'

# Cherry-pick master commit with empty allowance
git cherry-pick c69a74f7 --allow-empty

# Short git log:
git log --oneline -n 5

Dependencies

Site submodule dependencies:
json 
{
  "@astrojs/node": "^9.1.3",
  "astro": "^5.5.4",
  "astro-icon": "^1.1.5",
  "dotenv": "^16.4.7",
  "glob": "^10.4.5",
  "gray-matter": "^4.0.3"
}

Notes

  • Git LFS showing file modifications in site submodule is expected behavior
  • Each submodule maintains its own node_modules and dependency management
  • IDE may require restart to properly recognize submodule structure
