How to check the status of Git submodules in a repository

# Introduction

Git submodules are a powerful feature that allow you to include external repositories within your own projects. This capability is particularly useful when your project depends on external libraries or components that are maintained separately. By using submodules, you can keep these dependencies up-to-date and well-managed.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to check the status of Git submodules in your repository, understand what changes have been made to them, and ensure they are properly synchronized with their source repositories.
