GIT extensions for interacting with submodules.
In order to use these scripts as new git subcommands, they need to be available in your PATH. You can either copy/link the scripts to ~/bin or /usr/local/bin or configure your environment to include the git-submodule-gizmos/bin directory:
export PATH=$PATH:~/git-submodule-gizmos/bin
- git subcheckout -> chekout submodules on the specified branch and commit
- ...
Checks out the branch and commit of the submodule (does not leave you in a detached HEAD). Intended to simplify cloning repositories with many submodules for development.
In order to support this, the branch needs to be recorded in .gitmodules:
[submodule "some-submodule"]
path = some-submodule
url = [email protected]:somewhere/somerepository.git
branch = master
The command needs to be run in the root of the main repository, recursion is not supported.
user@machine:~/some-main-repository $ git subcheckout
Optionally a single submodule can be specified as an argument.
user@machine:~/some-main-repository $ git subcheckout a_specific_submodule
