from What happens when I clone a repository with symlinks on Windows? post I got know that if core.symlinks is set to true, and we clone the repo, it prevents the softlinks on the windows while cloning the repo. I have tested this, it's working.
However, I have gitlab pipeline running on windows.I have a repo which has many symlinks. When pipleine runs, it clone the repo, but it does not prevent the softlinks.
The machine, where I run the pipeline has, this variable set as true in the envirnoment as below, also deveoper mode is on.
C:\Users\asqa>git config --global --get core.symlinks
true
My question is, where do I set core.symlinks as true in .gitlab-ci.yml file so that the core.symlinks value is set before cloning of repo starts. I have tried below option but it's not working. core.symlinks is always showing false as below:
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = false
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
symlinks = false
ignorecase = true
default:
tags:
- azebony
stages: # List of stages for jobs, and their order of execution
- test
- Run
variables:
GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM: "true"
before_script:
- git config core.symlinks true
test-job:
stage: test
Could anybody help on this. I am stuck.
