| # Internal | |
| This directory contains internal code for cloud.google.com/go packages. | |
| ## .repo-metadata-full.json | |
| `.repo-metadata-full.json` contains metadata about the packages in this repo. It | |
| is generated by `internal/gapicgen/generator`. It's processed by external tools | |
| to build lists of all of the packages. | |
| Don't make breaking changes to the format without consulting with the external | |
| tools. | |
| One day, we may want to create individual `.repo-metadata.json` files next to | |
| each package, which is the pattern followed by some other languages. External | |
| tools would then talk to pkg.go.dev or some other service to get the overall | |
| list of packages and use the `.repo-metadata.json` files to get the additional | |
| metadata required. For now, `.repo-metadata-full.json` includes everything. | |
| ### Updating OwlBot SHA | |
| You may want to manually update the which version of the post-processor will be | |
| used -- to do this you need to update the SHA in the OwlBot lock file. | |
| See the [postprocessor/README](postprocessor/README.md) for detailed | |
| instructions. | |
| *Note*: OwlBot will eventually open a pull request to update this value if it | |
| discovers a new version of the container. |
