|
|
gitmodules - defining submodule properties
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
$GIT_WORK_DIR/.gitmodules
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The `.gitmodules` file, located in the top-level directory of a git
|
|
working tree, is a text file with a syntax matching the requirements
|
|
of linkgit:git-config[1].
|
|
|
|
The file contains one subsection per submodule, and the subsection value
|
|
is the name of the submodule. Each submodule section also contains the
|
|
following required keys:
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.path::
|
|
Defines the path, relative to the top-level directory of the git
|
|
working tree, where the submodule is expected to be checked out.
|
|
The path name must not end with a `/`. All submodule paths must
|
|
be unique within the .gitmodules file.
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.url::
|
|
Defines an url from where the submodule repository can be cloned.
|
|
This may be either an absolute URL ready to be passed to
|
|
linkgit:git-clone[1] or (if it begins with ./ or ../) a location
|
|
relative to the superproject's origin repository.
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.update::
|
|
Defines what to do when the submodule is updated by the superproject.
|
|
If 'checkout' (the default), the new commit specified in the
|
|
superproject will be checked out in the submodule on a detached HEAD.
|
|
If 'rebase', the current branch of the submodule will be rebased onto
|
|
the commit specified in the superproject. If 'merge', the commit
|
|
specified in the superproject will be merged into the current branch
|
|
in the submodule.
|
|
This config option is overridden if 'git submodule update' is given
|
|
the '--merge' or '--rebase' options.
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules::
|
|
This option can be used to control recursive fetching of this
|
|
submodule. If this option is also present in the submodules entry in
|
|
.git/config of the superproject, the setting there will override the
|
|
one found in .gitmodules.
|
|
Both settings can be overridden on the command line by using the
|
|
"--[no-]recurse-submodules" option to "git fetch" and "git pull".
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.ignore::
|
|
Defines under what circumstances "git status" and the diff family show
|
|
a submodule as modified. When set to "all", it will never be considered
|
|
modified, "dirty" will ignore all changes to the submodules work tree and
|
|
takes only differences between the HEAD of the submodule and the commit
|
|
recorded in the superproject into account. "untracked" will additionally
|
|
let submodules with modified tracked files in their work tree show up.
|
|
Using "none" (the default when this option is not set) also shows
|
|
submodules that have untracked files in their work tree as changed.
|
|
If this option is also present in the submodules entry in .git/config of
|
|
the superproject, the setting there will override the one found in
|
|
.gitmodules.
|
|
Both settings can be overridden on the command line by using the
|
|
"--ignore-submodule" option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Consider the following .gitmodules file:
|
|
|
|
[submodule "libfoo"]
|
|
path = include/foo
|
|
url = git://foo.com/git/lib.git
|
|
|
|
[submodule "libbar"]
|
|
path = include/bar
|
|
url = git://bar.com/git/lib.git
|
|
|
|
|
|
This defines two submodules, `libfoo` and `libbar`. These are expected to
|
|
be checked out in the paths 'include/foo' and 'include/bar', and for both
|
|
submodules an url is specified which can be used for cloning the submodules.
