Pull Latest Changes for All Git Submodules
If it's the first time you check-out a repo you need to use --init
first:
git submodule update --init --recursive |
For git 1.8.2 or above, the option --remote
was added to support updating to latest tips of remote branches:
git submodule update --recursive --remote |
This has the added benefit of respecting any "non default" branches specified in the .gitmodules
or .git/config
files (if you happen to have any, default is origin/master
, in which case some of the other answers here would work as well).
