A feature in Git that allows you to include another Git repository as a part of your project.

They help manage dependencies between projects, allowing a main project to rely on a separate codebase.

Submodules link to a specific commit of the external repository, creating a stable dependency.

Copying and pasting external code directly into your project is a bad practice, making updates difficult and messy.

A submodule maintains its connection to the external repository, allowing easy updates and collaboration.

Submodules enable contribution to the external repository directly, fostering collaborative development.

Submodules make it easier to track changes and revisions in both your project and the external code.

They can be complex and require careful handling, especially when working in teams.

A pointer referencing a specific commit in another Git repository. This commit represents a specific version of the library.

A command that pulls updates for all submodules within a project, including nested submodules. This simplifies the process of updating multiple libraries.

A state in Git when you are not on a specific branch, but rather at a specific commit. This can happen when working with submodules.

Submodules are not automatically synchronized when the main project's commit is changed. To align a submodule to the correct commit, a specific command is needed.

When a parent project is cloned, submodules aren't automatically initialized. This requires an additional step to bring them into the cloned project.

The act of bringing a Git submodule into an active state within the project. This allows access to the submodule's files and history.

The process of updating a submodule to a specific commit hash or branch. This ensures the submodule is aligned with the main project.

A command that clones a project and also initializes and clones its submodules in a single step. This simplifies the process of working with projects containing submodules.

A command that updates all submodules within a project, including nested submodules, with a single command. This simplifies the process of updating multiple submodules.

Submodules can be tricky to manage. They require specific commands and understanding of how they work to navigate their complexities effectively.

Submodules are not always necessary. There are alternative methods for managing project dependencies, such as package managers and referring to projects on the same disk.

Git Subtrees are a simpler version of Git Submodules, but also less powerful. Unlike submodules, they integrate a copy of another project's code directly into your own repository.

Large File Storage (LFS) is a Git extension used to manage and store large binary files efficiently. It allows you to track large files separately, reducing the overall size of your main repository.

A method for managing project dependencies where a project's source code is referenced directly from another project's directory, allowing for simultaneous work on both projects.

A popular method for managing dependencies that involves using a file within your project that lists required dependencies and their versions, enabling easy installation and updates using tools like pip or npm.

A common way to manage dependencies where a library's source code is downloaded and installed as a package from a remote repository, simplifying updates to the latest version.

The ability to make changes to a library project directly from the application project, facilitating easier collaboration and bug fixing.

A solution for managing project dependencies where Git projects are nested within each other, with the inner project's entire history and branches incorporated into the outer project, maintaining synchronization between versions.

The process of adding a submodule to a project involves cloning the submodule's repository into the main project's directory, creating a hidden gitmodules file that tracks the submodule, and committing the changes.

The file generated by the submodule command that stores information about the added submodule, including its path and remote repository, guiding Git in tracking the submodule.

The stage where changes are made to the library project and then committed to the library's central repository, allowing other projects to access the updates.

The process of integrating the latest changes from the library project into the application project, including pulling the updates in the submodule and committing them to the application project to ensure synchronization.

The ability to access and modify the library project as a separate project, making it easier to isolate or contribute to specific parts of the library without impacting the application project entirely.

The act of pushing changes made to the library project to the central repository, allowing others to access and use the updated library.

A process that enables the application team to collaborate with the library team by submitting proposed changes (pull requests) to the library project, potentially merging them into the main library codebase after review and acceptance.

A feature of Git that allows developers to work on different versions of the library project simultaneously, creating separate branches for each version.
