Moving the marketplace app to a submodule

The public marketplace site (apps/marketplace) is being extracted into its own repository and re-attached to this monorepo as a git submodule:

• Target repo: git@github.com:lumibase-ai/marketplace.git
• Mount path: apps/marketplace (unchanged — the @lumibase/marketplace workspace package keeps its path, so pnpm-workspace.yaml's apps/* glob still picks it up once the submodule is checked out).

Why this isn't done automatically

The automation that prepared this change is scoped to khuepm/lumibase and has no push access to lumibase-ai/*. The extraction therefore ships as a runnable script — run it from a machine (or CI) that can push to lumibase-ai/marketplace.

Prerequisites

1. lumibase-ai/marketplace exists and is empty (or willing to accept a fresh main).
2. Your git remote has push access to it (SSH key or PAT).
3. Run from a clean working tree at the repo root.

Run it

# Dry run — prints every git command without executing:
./scripts/marketplace-submodule-migration.sh

# Execute for real:
APPLY=1 ./scripts/marketplace-submodule-migration.sh

# Execute, overwriting scaffolding (README/license) on the remote's main:
FORCE=1 APPLY=1 ./scripts/marketplace-submodule-migration.sh

Overridable env vars: MARKETPLACE_REPO_URL, MARKETPLACE_BRANCH, FORCE.

If the push is rejected ("fetch first" / non-fast-forward)

The target repo already has commits on main — almost always the initial README/license GitHub adds when you create a repo through the UI. The extracted subtree history is a separate root, so it can't fast-forward.

• Discard that scaffolding (safe when main is just the auto-init commit): re-run with FORCE=1 — it pushes with --force (a --force-with-lease can't be used on an ad-hoc URL push: with no remote-tracking ref it always rejects with "stale info").
• Keep the remote history: push to a side branch and reconcile via PR:
  bashCopy

  git push git@github.com:lumibase-ai/marketplace.git marketplace-export:import-app
  

The script stops before touching the monorepo, so a rejected push leaves apps/marketplace intact — just resolve the push and re-run.

What it does

1. git subtree split --prefix=apps/marketplace — extracts the full history of the app onto a temporary marketplace-export branch (every commit that touched the folder is preserved).
2. Pushes that history to lumibase-ai/marketplace as main.
3. git rm -r apps/marketplace and commits the removal from the monorepo.
4. git submodule add at the same path and commits the submodule pointer.
5. Deletes the temporary export branch.

After the move

• .gitmodules will list both extensions and apps/marketplace.
• Contributors: git submodule update --init --recursive after pulling.
• CI: enable submodule checkout (actions/checkout with submodules: recursive).
• Bumping the app = committing a new submodule SHA in the monorepo (or a git submodule update --remote).
