I want to push all of the changes in my submodule to my main repo. When running > git add *, it adds all of the changes in my main repo and not the submodules.
> git add *
> git status
On branch main
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.
Changes to be committed:
(use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
modified: Limux/vendor/stb
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
(commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)
modified: Limux/vendor/assimp (modified content)
to add these submodules, I need to cd to those folders and git add from there. This is quite tedious to do it manually. Is there a way to automate this process? Maybe use something like bat commands or a git command that I don't know about? I am using a windows operating system so please give an answer that works for windows.
We need to add and commit changes for each and every one of our submodules. Therefore, we can use this command:
> git submodule foreach --recursive.
the --recursive tells git to loop through each submodule and the submodules that each one can contain. then we add:
> git diff --quiet && git diff --staged --quiet || git commit -am <message>
at the end. the git diff --quiet && git diff --staged --quiet || tells git to run our next command if and only if there are changes to commit.
Here's the full command:
> git submodule foreach --recursive "git diff --quiet && git diff --staged --quiet || git commit -am <message>"
