| 4 | NAME | |
| 5 | ---- | |
| 6 | gitmodules - defining submodule properties | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 9 | -------- | |
| a88ca342 | 10 | gitmodules |
| 891dbc6e LH |
11 | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | ----------- | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | The `.gitmodules` file, located in the top-level directory of a git | |
| 17 | working tree, is a text file with a syntax matching the requirements | |
| 5162e697 | 18 | of linkgit:git-config[1]. |
| 891dbc6e LH |
19 | |
| 20 | The file contains one subsection per submodule, and the subsection value | |
| 21 | is the name of the submodule. Each submodule section also contains the | |
| 22 | following required keys: | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | submodule.<name>.path:: | |
| 25 | Defines the path, relative to the top-level directory of the git | |
| 26 | working tree, where the submodule is expected to be checked out. | |
| 27 | The path name must not end with a `/`. All submodule paths must | |
| 28 | be unique within the .gitmodules file. | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | submodule.<name>.url:: | |
| 31 | Defines an url from where the submodule repository can be cloned. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | ||
| 34 | EXAMPLES | |
| 35 | -------- | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | Consider the following .gitmodules file: | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | [submodule "libfoo"] | |
| 40 | path = include/foo | |
| 41 | url = git://foo.com/git/lib.git | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | [submodule "libbar"] | |
| 44 | path = include/bar | |
| 45 | url = git://bar.com/git/lib.git | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | ||
| 48 | This defines two submodules, `libfoo` and `libbar`. These are expected to | |
| 49 | be checked out in the paths 'include/foo' and 'include/bar', and for both | |
| 50 | submodules an url is specified which can be used for cloning the submodules. | |
| 51 | ||
