To make a submodule effectively usable, the path and a URL where the submodule can be cloned need to be stored in .gitmodules. This subcommand takes care of setting this information after cloning the new submodule. Only the index is updated, so, if needed, the user may still change the URL or switch to a different branch of the submodule before committing.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-submodule - Initialize, update or inspect submodules
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-submodule' [--quiet] [-b branch] add <repository> [<path>]
|
|
'git-submodule' [--quiet] [--cached] [status|init|update] [--] [<path>...]
|
|
|
|
|
|
COMMANDS
|
|
--------
|
|
add::
|
|
Add the given repository as a submodule at the given path
|
|
to the changeset to be committed next. In particular, the
|
|
repository is cloned at the specified path, added to the
|
|
changeset and registered in .gitmodules. If no path is
|
|
specified, the path is deduced from the repository specification.
|
|
|
|
status::
|
|
Show the status of the submodules. This will print the SHA-1 of the
|
|
currently checked out commit for each submodule, along with the
|
|
submodule path and the output of gitlink:git-describe[1] for the
|
|
SHA-1. Each SHA-1 will be prefixed with `-` if the submodule is not
|
|
initialized and `+` if the currently checked out submodule commit
|
|
does not match the SHA-1 found in the index of the containing
|
|
repository. This command is the default command for git-submodule.
|
|
|
|
init::
|
|
Initialize the submodules, i.e. register in .git/config each submodule
|
|
path and url found in .gitmodules. The key used in git/config is
|
|
`submodule.$path.url`. This command does not alter existing information
|
|
in .git/config.
|
|
|
|
update::
|
|
Update the registered submodules, i.e. clone missing submodules and
|
|
checkout the commit specified in the index of the containing repository.
|
|
This will make the submodules HEAD be detached.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-q, --quiet::
|
|
Only print error messages.
|
|
|
|
-b, --branch::
|
|
Branch of repository to add as submodule.
|
|
|
|
--cached::
|
|
Display the SHA-1 stored in the index, not the SHA-1 of the currently
|
|
checked out submodule commit. This option is only valid for the
|
|
status command.
|
|
|
|
<path>::
|
|
Path to submodule(s). When specified this will restrict the command
|
|
to only operate on the submodules found at the specified paths.
|
|
|
|
FILES
|
|
-----
|
|
When initializing submodules, a .gitmodules file in the top-level directory
|
|
of the containing repository is used to find the url of each submodule.
|
|
This file should be formatted in the same way as $GIR_DIR/config. The key
|
|
to each submodule url is "module.$path.url".
