| 4 | NAME | |
| 5 | ---- | |
| 6 | git-submodule - Initialize, update or inspect submodules | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | ||
| 9 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 10 | -------- | |
| b2493649 | 11 | [verse] |
| ecda0723 | 12 | 'git-submodule' [--quiet] [-b branch] add <repository> [<path>] |
| 70c7ac22 LH |
13 | 'git-submodule' [--quiet] [--cached] [status|init|update] [--] [<path>...] |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | ||
| 16 | COMMANDS | |
| 17 | -------- | |
| ecda0723 SV |
18 | add:: |
| 19 | Add the given repository as a submodule at the given path | |
| 20 | to the changeset to be committed next. In particular, the | |
| 21 | repository is cloned at the specified path, added to the | |
| 22 | changeset and registered in .gitmodules. If no path is | |
| 23 | specified, the path is deduced from the repository specification. | |
| 24 | ||
| 70c7ac22 LH |
25 | status:: |
| 26 | Show the status of the submodules. This will print the SHA-1 of the | |
| 27 | currently checked out commit for each submodule, along with the | |
| 28 | submodule path and the output of gitlink:git-describe[1] for the | |
| 29 | SHA-1. Each SHA-1 will be prefixed with `-` if the submodule is not | |
| 30 | initialized and `+` if the currently checked out submodule commit | |
| 31 | does not match the SHA-1 found in the index of the containing | |
| 32 | repository. This command is the default command for git-submodule. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | init:: | |
| 211b7f19 | 35 | Initialize the submodules, i.e. register in .git/config each submodule |
| 813a0bd8 LH |
36 | name and url found in .gitmodules. The key used in .git/config is |
| 37 | `submodule.$name.url`. This command does not alter existing information | |
| 211b7f19 | 38 | in .git/config. |
| 70c7ac22 LH |
39 | |
| 40 | update:: | |
| 211b7f19 LH |
41 | Update the registered submodules, i.e. clone missing submodules and |
| 42 | checkout the commit specified in the index of the containing repository. | |
| 43 | This will make the submodules HEAD be detached. | |
| 70c7ac22 LH |
44 | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | OPTIONS | |
| 47 | ------- | |
| 48 | -q, --quiet:: | |
| 49 | Only print error messages. | |
| 50 | ||
| ecda0723 SV |
51 | -b, --branch:: |
| 52 | Branch of repository to add as submodule. | |
| 53 | ||
| 70c7ac22 LH |
54 | --cached:: |
| 55 | Display the SHA-1 stored in the index, not the SHA-1 of the currently | |
| 56 | checked out submodule commit. This option is only valid for the | |
| 57 | status command. | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | <path>:: | |
| 60 | Path to submodule(s). When specified this will restrict the command | |
| 61 | to only operate on the submodules found at the specified paths. | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | FILES | |
| 64 | ----- | |
| 211b7f19 | 65 | When initializing submodules, a .gitmodules file in the top-level directory |
| 70c7ac22 LH |
66 | of the containing repository is used to find the url of each submodule. |
| 67 | This file should be formatted in the same way as $GIR_DIR/config. The key | |
| 813a0bd8 | 68 | to each submodule url is "submodule.$name.url". |
