Git configs for a submodule with sparse-checkout filtering

gistfile1.txt

Assuming you have created a submodule 'mysub' in repo 'myrepo'

Set the sparse checkout config property in the submodule

myrepo/.git/modules/mysub/config:

[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = true
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true
	worktree = ...path.../myrepo/mysub
	ignorecase = true
	sparsecheckout = true
[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = ...submodule/origin/path...
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master


Create a sparse-checkout file with rules for the files to be included much as you would with a .gitignore file

myrepo/.git/modules/mysub/info/sparse-checkout:

lib/*.scss

Can we set these sparse checkout configurations

• sparse checkout parameter to true for submodule
• Directory paths which you have set in sparse-checkout file

to the remote repository in .gitconfig file or some other place?
Main aim is to set all these configuration in config files so afterward when someone else clone this repository, they get all the configurations available there and they don't need to do all the steps in local which I did to configure sparse checkout in my submodule.
