Pushing all submodules recursively

I wrote the below script to push all the changes in the workspace, both in the submodules and the superproject. However, it sounds a little odd that, it is this complex to do what I want. Is there any better way, that I'm missing?

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]; then
    echo "Illegal number of parameters"
    exit
fi

SCRIPT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"

cd "${SCRIPT_DIR}/../submodule1" 
git status
git add -A
git commit -m "$1"
git push origin master

cd "${SCRIPT_DIR}/../submodule2" 
git status
git add -A
git commit -m "$1"
git push origin master

cd "${SCRIPT_DIR}/../submodule3" 
git status
git add -A
git commit -m "$1"
git push origin master

printf "\n\nUpdating Super Project\n\n" 
cd .. 
git status
git add -A
git commit -m "All Submodules Updated - $1"
git push origin master
Solution

  • git1.7.11 ([ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.11.rc1) mentions:

    "git push --recurse-submodules" learned to optionally look into the histories of submodules bound to the superproject and push them out.

    So you can use:

    git push --recurse-submodules=on-demand
