gitmodules(5)
=============
NAME
----
gitmodules - defining submodule properties
SYNOPSIS
--------
gitmodules
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The `.gitmodules` file, located in the top-level directory of a git
working tree, is a text file with a syntax matching the requirements
of linkgit:git-config[1].
The file contains one subsection per submodule, and the subsection value
is the name of the submodule. Each submodule section also contains the
following required keys:
submodule.<name>.path::
Defines the path, relative to the top-level directory of the git
working tree, where the submodule is expected to be checked out.
The path name must not end with a `/`. All submodule paths must
be unique within the .gitmodules file.
submodule.<name>.url::
Defines an url from where the submodule repository can be cloned.
EXAMPLES
--------
Consider the following .gitmodules file:
[submodule "libfoo"]
path = include/foo
url = git://foo.com/git/lib.git
[submodule "libbar"]
path = include/bar
url = git://bar.com/git/lib.git
This defines two submodules, `libfoo` and `libbar`. These are expected to
be checked out in the paths 'include/foo' and 'include/bar', and for both
submodules an url is specified which can be used for cloning the submodules.
