Introduction to Git submodules
- Let's move on to the first tool that is Git submodules. In this video, I'll be giving you a quick introduction to Git submodules. Git submodules help you nest Git repositories within other Git repositories, can easily detect the presence of GIS submodules in a repository by the presence of the dot Git modules config file. I'll be showing how Git submodules look like on GitHub in a bit. Another feature you must remember while learning Git submodules is that it points to a specific commit reference of the child repository. As mentioned earlier, it overcomes the disadvantage we discussed before. It can build and test from bleeding-edge checkouts. Git submodules follow a component-based development model. We can choose to update a specific submodule according to your requirement or one at a time.
