💡 [IMPROVEMENT] Submodule main OpenTofu repo

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Summary

Instead of using a makefile, use git submodules and possibly symlinks to pull in the content.

Basic Example

Currently, the build process requires running make every time the main OpenTofu repository is updated. This makes the editing process more tedious than necessary as live editing cannot be performed. Additionally, the build process only runs if make is installed, which will make contributions for Windows-based users more difficult.

Instead, we should use git submodules to link in the main repository and possibly symlinks if necessary. This may require moving the index.mdx file to the main repository.

Drawbacks

The index.mdx file would need to be moved to the main repository or symlinked itself.
