Git submodules jippermettulek li ddaħħal repository Git waħda ġewwa oħra bħala subdirectory — utli għall-inklużjoni ta' libreriji maqsuma jew dipendenzi bħala repos separati. Huma qawwija iżda għandhom reputazzjoni ta' kumplessità, għalhekk il-fehim tagħhom u tal-alternattivi tiegħu hu valuwuż.
X'inhuma l-submodules
A SUBMODULE is a reference to ANOTHER Git repository at a SPECIFIC COMMIT, embedded in
your repo as a subdirectory:
→ the parent repo records WHICH repo and WHICH commit (a pinned reference, not a copy)
→ the submodule is its own repo with its own history
→ Used to include shared libraries/components that are themselves versioned repos.
git submodule add <url> path/to/lib
git --recurse-submodules <url>
git submodule update --init --recursive
git submodule update --remote
