It might be a lack of coffee, but I've just had some, so I'll go ahead and ask anyway.
Here's a literal talk that I had with my terminal, with line breaks for readability.
$ ls -la

#
# new file: content

# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: content
# modified: typely
#
But these are all directories! Also, they have not been modified since I added them.
Thinking that something might be wrong with the directories, I tried cp -r
to a new directory, but the same thing happens. If I git add
the files directly, git doesn't complain, but they don't show up in git st
either.
Am I losing my mind?
Found it. These directories all contained separate git repositories!
$ find -name .git
./content/.git
./template/.git
./typely/.git
I'm leaving the question here in case anyone else ever runs into this problem.
They are being treated as submodules , which Git stores in the superrepository as a special kind of text files. Doing git diff
when they are modified will show them as files containing the text Subproject commit
plus a commit SHA1 ID.
