Thanks! This is actually a combination of 4 or 5 shorter tutorials on submodules I put together. I thought people would prefer the shorter ones but it seems software developers have a longer attention span than I gave them credit for. I'm so glad it could help!
Amazing! So many tutorials focus on how to do this stuff with GH or GL, but you actually show the real workings of Git itself! That is so much more useful!
@@cameronmcnz Yeah I was trying to learn how to use submodules locally through sublime merge and this back-to-basics approach with the shell really helped me understand what was going on. Appreciate the tutorial
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. After this tutorial I am thinking to create a separate repository for the full stack projects I do, ie I have a frontend part repo and backend part repo and I'd be referencing them or submoduling them both here. This way they're separate but linked together. Is that a good use case? or that'd just increase the count of my repos?
I think that's a great use-case! But honestly, you sound a lot smarter about these things than me. You've got the high-level vision. I just know how Git works.
@@cameronmcnz thanks sir. You know your stuff deeply and I'm, being a fresher just exploring everything. I'm hoping to master these stuffs as well :) and become a good teacher/developer like you!
Thanks for the kind words! But I'm no expert. I just know about 5 minutes worth of stuff and know how to stretch that out into a 20 minute video. And I learn it all from people like you!@@ceo_google

Why you do 'git add .' after 'git submodule add'? All the new files are already added into the next commit and this is clearly shown by the git status command you run before each unnecessary 'git add .'
Shhh! If my employer asks, it's a root beer. Honest to God, I didn't realize I was holding a brew in that photo until after I'd used it a few dozen times. But I guess it's part of the brand now.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I try to keep the git tutorials short. This was actually a combination of four shorter tutorials combined to cover what the key aspects of git submodules entails. Trying to keep things short and to the point.
@@letok2871 I'm sorry for the swallowing noises! I'm making lots of changes to how I do the videos, including trying to make them all shorter and more to the point. And fewer lip smacking and swallowing.

When it comes to boring and basic, I'm your man!!! So glad I could help you with your Git submodules!

Nice video
Thank you so much
I have one question hope you will help me
How to clone submodules if submodules have added creds ?
Thanks for the kind words!
I love the way you start from scratch and then progress on, Thanks for making this video
Thanks for the kind words. Trying to paint a full picture. Git submodules is pretty complicated.
Exactly what I needed!
I could only find add submodule from remote repo but you covered also the local one.
Thanks alot!
Glad I could help. Trying to make these tutorials as simple and straight forward as I can!
Thank, Mr.Cameron , It's exactly that I was search.
Glad I could be of service!

Thanks for the kind words!
Remove that pic with beer
It's non-alcoholic, gluten-free soda water. Honest.
Thank you for the great tutorial!
Q: should we do anything with ".gitmodules" on removing a "submodule" ?
Thanks again.
14:51 Clone repository with submodules
17:33 Clone repository with submodules2
Some points are so important they need to be made twice!
Thanks Cameron ..for building things up from scratch..really helpful content.
Thanks for the kind words. Trying to keep the video short, but also trying not to leave anything out. It's a tough balance with Git submodules!
Posted from Toronto Zoo, Lol? I was there 2 years ago.. Thanks for the tutorial :)
Waiting for someone to let me out. It's a great zoo!
This was a life saver!! Thank you man!!
So glad I could be of service. Submodules are confusing at start. Then only 'mildly confusing' after you watch the video. :)
Thanks! For support. 👍
nice, I followed all the way through, coded along with you. Now I know a lot more about submodules, and I'm not scared of them anymore lol thanks.
I'm still scared of them, and I did the video!

Nice videos, very complete and clear and excellent and everything I needed to know to finally used submodules
good tutorial... nicely explained
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Thank you so much for this video. This would have save my life a few years back if only this video is avalable back then.
Great tutorial on submodules.
Thanks Mom!
Way easier than I thought ngl.
So glad to hear that. Submodules is one of the more difficult Git concepts to master.
Awesome instructions. pretty easy to understand.
Very very clear and straight explanations ! Thanks a lot !
Thanks for the consistent exhaustive demo.
Really clear, thanks a lot for your explaination!
Why you do 'git add .' after 'git submodule add'? All the new files are already added into the next commit and this is clearly shown by the git status command you run before each unnecessary 'git add .'
Habit
Awesome. Great tutorial! You are a talented teacher!
very clear explanation thanks a lot
Super easy and well explained. Thank you.
Thanks a lot ! Saved my day!
Saving people is what I do. I'm like the Jesus of Git Submodules. Thanks for the kind words!
@@cameronmcnz :D
lol you look like a cool guy with the beer man. nice tutorial

@@cameronmcnz I only saw a root beer
@@kingsleyakpan687 I'm more amused by the Tim Hortons coffee maker in the background. It confirms my Canadian cred.
@@cameronmcnz the whole picture is classic. nice belt buckle too, I would have assumed Texas
Thank for the video!

Does the author's swallowing annoy me alone?
Sorry. Was fighting that COVID infection. :(
@@cameronmcnz Oh, I'm sorry. I wish you a quick recovery. The stuff is cool, helped me get my new project straight.
