See https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules
Add a submodule to your main repository:
git submodule add https://github.com/woutervanranst/utils ./WouterVanRanst.UtilsAfter adding a submodule, it will be in a "pending" state. You need to initialize and update the submodule to bring in the files:
git submodule init
git submodule updateTo clone a repository that contains submodules, you can use the --recursive flag to automatically initialize and update the submodules during the clone:
git clone --recursive <repository_url>To update the submodule to the latest commit in the submodule repository:
cd <path_to_submodule_directory>
git checkout master # or any desired branch
git pull origin master # or the branch you checked out
cd ..
git add <path_to_submodule_directory>
git commit -m "Updated submodule to latest commit"
git push! Remember to commit and push the main repository after updating the submodule, as the main repository needs to store the reference to the new submodule commit.
