Git Version Control Cookbook

How to do it...

1. We'll add a subproject, lib_a, to the super project as a Git submodule:

$ git submodule add https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Git-Version-Control-Cookbook-Second-Edition_lib_a.git lib_a 
Cloning into 'lib_a'... 
remote: Counting objects: 18, done. 
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (14/14), done. 
remote: Total 18 (delta 4), reused 17 (delta 3) 
Receiving objects: 100% (18/18), done. 
Resolving deltas: 100% (4/4), done. 
Checking connectivity... done.

$ git status 
On branch master 
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. 

Changes to be committed:

  new file:   .gitmodules 
  new file:   lib_a
