Add a submodule

git submodule add https://github.com/user/repo.git path/to/submodule\n

Clone repo with submodules

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/user/main-repo.git\n

Initialize submodules in existing clone

git submodule update --init --recursive\n

Update submodule to latest commit

cd submodule-path\ngit pull origin main\ncd ..\ngit add submodule-path\ngit commit -m "update submodule"\n
