I've added some submodules to my git repo using the following (note the -b switch) :
git submodule add -b dev-master git@github.com:OurCompany/The_Submodule.git
and when cloning the module recursively with
git clone --recursive -b dev-master git@github.com:OurCompany/The_Repository.git
the submodules get cloned, but running
git branch
indicates that the submodule is in a detached state.
I can fix by checking out the submodule with
git checkout dev-master
but isn't there a way to clone recursively with the submodules checked out on the tracked dev-master branch I added in the git submodule add step, instead of giving me a detached branch?
The parent project does not track the tags (ie master
or dev-master
). It only pins the sha1-ids of each submodule.
If you now want to have all submodules point to the current master
(which might not be the one you expected), you can run:
git submodule foreach git checkout dev-master
