git-submodule(1)
================
NAME
----
git-submodule - Initialize, update or inspect submodules
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-submodule' [--quiet] [--cached] [status|init|update] [--] [<path>...]
COMMANDS
--------
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. clone the git repositories specified
in the .gitmodules file and checkout the submodule commits specified
in the index of the containing repository. This will make the
submodules HEAD be detached.
update::
Update the initialized submodules, i.e. checkout the submodule commits
specified in the index of the containing repository. This will make
the submodules HEAD be detached.
OPTIONS
-------
-q, --quiet::
Only print error messages.
--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 cloning 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".
