Pulling All Submodules from Remote

Introduction

When working with Git repositories, submodules can be used to include other repositories as dependencies. However, when these dependencies are updated in their respective remotes, the changes are not automatically reflected in the main repository. In order to update the submodules, you need to pull them from their respective remotes.

Pulling All Submodules from Remote

You have a Git repository with submodules that need to be updated from their respective remotes. Manually pulling each submodule can be time-consuming and error-prone. You need a way to pull all submodules at once.

Assuming you have a Git repository named git that contains submodules, you can pull all submodules from their respective remotes using the following command:

cd git
git submodule update --recursive --remote

This command updates all submodules in the repository to the latest version available in their respective remotes.

Summary

When working with Git repositories that contain submodules, it's important to keep them up to date with their respective remotes. The git submodule update --recursive --remote command allows you to pull all submodules at once, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
