Feature Description

It is more frequent that new projects are using F Prime as a sub-repo. It would be convenient to have a cloner script that sets up the sub-repos and local configs for the user. Here are the suggested features:

  • Create an F Prime sub-repo with the correct release, tag, or commit
  • Create a local config directory with a copy of what is in the F Prime repo.
  • Copy Ref deployment to act as placeholder
  • Create correct cmake files in new Ref.
  • Check out F Prime sub-repo
  • Build new Ref deployment (maybe?)

Rationale

Make creating a sub-repo based repository easier and less error-prone.

It might be worth considering using cookiecutter templates like we do with fprime-util new.

@SterlingPeet is working on an fprime-util new for topologies/deployments. I think that will meet this need.

This will be addressed by the upcoming fprime-util new --project command

fprime-util new is now (with devel, will be released soon) able to generate a project, which sets up everything needed for setting up a new F' project with the modern project structure, including cloning fprime as a subrepo.
