Git submodules

git submodule add submodule-url

git submodule init
git submodule update

git clone --recurse-submodules repo-with-submodules-url

Update a submodule. Go inside a submodule and

git fetch
git merge origin/master

Or, simply:

git submodule update --remote submodule-name

If the needed submodule branch is not master:

git config -f .gitmodules submodule.DbConnector.branch stable

(The -f .gitmodules makes the change persistent)

Configuration to pretty print submodule changes

git config --global diff.submodule log

• Push to the remotes to make sure they're externally available and then try this push again

git push --recurse-submodules=on-demand

• Let the on-demand option be the default

git config push.recurseSubmodules on-demand
