git submodule update --init --recursive

git submodule add {{repository_url}}

• Add a Git repository as a submodule of the current one, at a specific directory:

git submodule add {{repository_url}} {{path/to/directory}}

• Update every submodule to its latest commit:

git submodule update --init --recursive --remote

• Change the URL of a submodule:

git submodule set-url {{path/to/submodule}} {{new_url}}

• Unregister a submodule (e.g. before removing it from the repository with git rm):

git submodule deinit {{path/to/submodule}}
