Subject: Feature Request: Submodule Warning When Cloning Repos
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2021 16:59:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <SA1PR17MB46101CC190E4CDDD00F2AD2C9BDC9@SA1PR17MB4610.namprd17.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
Problem:
Easy to forget to clone submodules.
Existing Solutions:
Always clone repos that have submodules with the "--recurse-submodules" option.
Manually look inside the git ".submodules" file to see if there are any submodules and initialize and update them.
Request:
When performing a clone, warn the user if there are any submodules that have not been cloned.
Recommend that the user try the "--recurse-submodules" option next time or initialize and update the submodules.
