One day I cloned a library in github and there was an instruction to use the git submodule update command.
I have been working with git for some time and I was not aware of this command until then.
What is this submodule command for?
Wallace,
This command is useful when you want to insert another git repository into your main project (a library, for example).
For git the submodule will be a totally independent project. You can edit the contents below the submodule folder, commit, push, etc. Provided you have permission to do so:)
There are alternatives, such as package managers, that organize dependencies in other, more efficient and secure ways.
