Submodules

This project uses Git Submodules. If you just cloned the project, be sure to run:

$ git submodule update --init

This page provides a short overview of the most common use cases.

Pulling in Upstream Changes from the Submodule Remote

You want to do this when the remote version of submodule is updated. The simplest way to resolve this is to run:

$ git submodule update --remote --rebase

If you modified your local submodule, you might want to use different flags.

If you run git status, you should see that submodule is updated. Commit and push the changes so others can use the same version.

Pulling Upstream Changes from the Project Remote

If somebody else updated the submodule and you pulled the changes, you have to update your local clone as well. The message "Submodules changed but not updated" will show when running git status. To update local submodule, run:

$ git submodule update --init
