SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
-'git submodule' [--quiet] add [-b branch]
+'git submodule' [--quiet] add [-b branch] [-f|--force]
[--reference <repository>] [--] <repository> [<path>]
'git submodule' [--quiet] status [--cached] [--recursive] [--] [<path>...]
'git submodule' [--quiet] init [--] [<path>...]
together in the same relative location, and only the
superproject's URL needs to be provided: git-submodule will correctly
locate the submodule using the relative URL in .gitmodules.
-+
-The submodule will be added with "git add --force <path>". I.e. git
-doesn't care if the new path is in a `gitignore`. Your invocation of
-"git submodule add" is considered enough to override it.
status::
Show the status of the submodules. This will print the SHA-1 of the
currently checked out commit for each submodule, along with the
submodule path and the output of 'git describe' for the
SHA-1. Each SHA-1 will be prefixed with `-` if the submodule is not
- initialized and `+` if the currently checked out submodule commit
+ initialized, `+` if the currently checked out submodule commit
does not match the SHA-1 found in the index of the containing
- repository. This command is the default command for 'git submodule'.
+ repository and `U` if the submodule has merge conflicts.
+ This command is the default command for 'git submodule'.
+
If '--recursive' is specified, this command will recurse into nested
submodules, and show their status as well.
--branch::
Branch of repository to add as submodule.
+-f::
+--force::
+ This option is only valid for the add command.
+ Allow adding an otherwise ignored submodule path.
+
--cached::
This option is only valid for status and summary commands. These
commands typically use the commit found in the submodule HEAD, but
to each submodule url is "submodule.$name.url". See linkgit:gitmodules[5]
for details.
