submodule-bot

Automatically create PR for dependent submodule update.

Currently works for Bitbucket and all repositories under one project only.

The approach is to setup a Merge event webhook in the submodule's Bitbucket repository, e.g.

• Repo A and B are in Bitbucket project P
• Repo A is a submodule of repo B
• Merge event happens in repo A
• Bitbucket sends a webhook event to this submodule-bot (hosted somewhere, there is a docker build file)
• submodule-bot scans the project's repositories for the submodule dependencies in project P
• submodule-bot creates a PR in repo B for repo A's update.
