Git: Libraries hosted in a remote repository?

Question

I'm working in a project that has a few libraries that seem to be in a remote repository. For example:

When I clone the project, all of the libraries with that icon are missing. Is there another command I need to execute to download them?

For reference, this is an iOS project and these are Objective C libraries.

Answer 1

Generally third party libraries are added in project via CocoaPods or git submodules.

If your project using CocoaPods then you will find a podfile inside project directory, open terminal and navigate to directory contain podfile and then type in this command pod install to checkout all libraries, it will create a workspace, once you have workspace open that project via workspace always.

If other libraries are added as submodule then you can checkout using git submodule update --init .

Answer 2

My guess is that they are submodules of the repository you're clonning. Try adding the --recursive option to the clone command.
