484 <p>With no arguments, shows the status of existing submodules. Several
485 subcommands are available to perform operations on the submodules.</p>
486 </div>

488 <dl>
489 <dt class="hdlist1">add [-b &lt;branch&gt;] [-f|--force] [--name &lt;name&gt;] [--reference &lt;repository&gt;] [--ref-format &lt;format&gt;] [--depth &lt;depth&gt;] [--] &lt;repository&gt; [&lt;path&gt;]</dt>
490 <dd>
491 <p>Add the given repository as a submodule at the given path
492 to the changeset to be committed next to the current
493 project: the current project is termed the "superproject".</p>
494 <div class="paragraph">
495 <p>&lt;repository&gt; is the URL of the new submodule&#8217;s origin repository.
496 This may be either an absolute URL, or (if it begins with ./
497 or ../), the location relative to the superproject&#8217;s default remote
498 repository (Please note that to specify a repository <em>foo.git</em>
499 which is located right next to a superproject <em>bar.git</em>, you&#8217;ll
500 have to use <code>..</code><code>/foo.git</code> instead of .<code>/foo.git</code> - as one might expect
501 when following the rules for relative URLs - because the evaluation
502 of relative URLs in Git is identical to that of relative directories).</p>
503 </div>
504 <div class="paragraph">
505 <p>The default remote is the remote of the remote-tracking branch
506 of the current branch. If no such remote-tracking branch exists or
507 the HEAD is detached, "origin" is assumed to be the default remote.
508 If the superproject doesn&#8217;t have a default remote configured
509 the superproject is its own authoritative upstream and the current
510 working directory is used instead.</p>
511 </div>
512 <div class="paragraph">
513 <p>The optional argument &lt;path&gt; is the relative location for the cloned
514 submodule to exist in the superproject. If &lt;path&gt; is not given, the
515 canonical part of the source repository is used ("repo" for
516 "/path/to/repo.git" and "foo" for "host.xz:foo/.git"). If &lt;path&gt;
517 exists and is already a valid Git repository, then it is staged
518 for commit without cloning. The &lt;path&gt; is also used as the submodule&#8217;s
519 logical name in its configuration entries unless <code>--name</code> is used
520 to specify a logical name.</p>
521 </div>
522 <div class="paragraph">
523 <p>The given URL is recorded into .<code>gitmodules</code> for use by subsequent users
524 cloning the superproject. If the URL is given relative to the
525 superproject&#8217;s repository, the presumption is the superproject and
526 submodule repositories will be kept together in the same relative
527 location, and only the superproject&#8217;s URL needs to be provided.
528 git-submodule will correctly locate the submodule using the relative
529 URL in .<code>gitmodules</code>.</p>
530 </div>
531 <div class="paragraph">
532 <p>If <code>--ref-format</code> <em>&lt;format&gt;</em> is specified, the ref storage format of newly
533 cloned submodules will be set accordingly.</p>
534 </div>
535 </dd>
536 <dt class="hdlist1">status [--cached] [--recursive] [--] [&lt;path&gt;&#8230;&#8203;]</dt>
537 <dd>
538 <p>Show the status of the submodules. This will print the SHA-1 of the
539 currently checked out commit for each submodule, along with the
540 submodule path and the output of <em>git describe</em> for the
541 SHA-1. Each SHA-1 will possibly be prefixed with <code>-</code> if the submodule is
542 not initialized, <code>+</code> if the currently checked out submodule commit
543 does not match the SHA-1 found in the index of the containing
544 repository and <code>U</code> if the submodule has merge conflicts.</p>
545 <div class="paragraph">
546 <p>If <code>--cached</code> is specified, this command will instead print the SHA-1
547 recorded in the superproject for each submodule.</p>
548 </div>
549 <div class="paragraph">
550 <p>If <code>--recursive</code> is specified, this command will recurse into nested
551 submodules, and show their status as well.</p>
552 </div>
553 <div class="paragraph">
554 <p>If you are only interested in changes of the currently initialized
555 submodules with respect to the commit recorded in the index or the HEAD,
556 <a href="git-status.html">git-status(1)</a> and <a href="git-diff.html">git-diff(1)</a> will provide that information

732 $name is the name of the relevant submodule section in .<code>gitmodules</code>,
733 $sm_path is the path of the submodule as recorded in the immediate

739 Note that to avoid conflicts with <em>$PATH</em> on Windows, the <em>$path</em>
740 variable is now a deprecated synonym of <em>$sm_path</em> variable.
741 Any submodules defined in the superproject but not checked out are
742 ignored by this command. Unless given <code>--quiet</code>, foreach prints the name
743 of each submodule before evaluating the command.
744 If <code>--recursive</code> is given, submodules are traversed recursively (i.e.
745 the given shell command is evaluated in nested submodules as well).
746 A non-zero return from the command in any submodule causes
747 the processing to terminate. This can be overridden by adding <em>|| :</em>
