This allows a subproject's location to be specified and stored as relative to the parent project's location (e.g., ./foo, or ../foo). This url is stored in .gitmodules as given. It is resolved into an absolute url by appending it to the parent project's url when the information is written to .git/config (i.e., during submodule add for the originator, and submodule init for a downstream recipient). This allows cloning of the project to work "as expected" if the project is hosted on a different server than when the subprojects were added.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-submodule - Initialize, update or inspect submodules
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'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.
|
|
If the repository url begins with ./ or ../, it is stored as
|
|
given but resolved as a relative path from the main project's
|
|
url when cloning.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
name and url found in .gitmodules. The key used in .git/config is
|
|
`submodule.$name.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 $GIR_DIR/config. The key
|
|
to each submodule url is "submodule.$name.url".
