GIT Checkout-开关子模块

Question

I have a project with a master and staging branch. The project has a submodule which also had a master and staging branch.

My .gitmodules file has referenced the branch correctly so eg my project on branch master has the following

[submodule "src/mysubmodule"]
    path = src/mysubmodule
    url = https://username@bitbucket.org/username/mysubmodule.git
    branch = master

and the branch staging has

[submodule "src/mysubmodule"]
    path = src/mysubmodule
    url = https://username@bitbucket.org/username/mysubmodule.git
    branch = staging

I want to switch the branch of my submodule(s) as well if i switch the branch of my project. git checkout master etc.

Answer 1

The submodule.<id>.branch configuration is just a hint for git submodule update --remote or ... --rebase . It will be ignored by the default --checkout operation.

You have to update the submodules of the "staging" branch manually (eg by git submodle update --remote ) and commit these changes then.
