Removing unrelated projects from west.yml

[adilamjad]

I want to create a minimalist west.yml file. I do not want to clone projects that are unrelated to my demo. For example, projects that are not required for building hello_world demo for b_u585i_iot02a board should be excluded. How do I find which projects are required by a sample/demo so that I only keep them in my west.yml file.

West itself does not know anything about that.

Try Zephyr's "SPDX" command
https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/west/zephyr-cmds.html#software-bill-of-materials-west-spdx

It could miss some repos (for instance: ancillary repos that don't have C code but are required anyway) but it's probably one of the best starting points.

Then: trial and error. Try removing something and make sure nothing breaks.

I think Discord is probably more suited to questions like this.

Thank you. I will post the same on the west channel of discord. Also, I will explore your suggestion.
