Submodules & Detached Head Problem
While using Git Submodules, after cloning a submodule, the projects are in detached mode.
Use this link for the resolution
git log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit master origin/master
git log -n 2
git checkout 957833d728b3249d22a3b3160f3a48b72c576d91
git checkout -b temp
git checkout master
git merge temp
# delete branch locally
git branch -d temp
Add a new project
git submodule add <GitHub Repo Name>
Clone submodules
Fetch up to 6 submodules at a time with -j6
git clone --recurse-submodules -j6 https://github.com/nitinkc/spring-microservices.git
In case git clone
is used on a submodule parent project
git clone https://github.com/nitinkc/spring-microservices.git
cd spring-microservices
git submodule init
git submodule update
Clone all projects
git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/nitinkc/SpringBootProjects.git
Update all the submodules
git pull --recurse-submodules
In case the projects needs be deleted
git submodule deinit -f -- my-project #provide the project to be removed
git rm --cached my-project
- Delete the entry from
.gitmodules
file - Commit and push the changes on github
Cleaning the local .git
repo.
- delete the entry from
.git/config
file - delete the project folder from
.git/modules/<git-project-name>
Instead of this, just commit the
.gitmodules
changes and re-clone the project
