The command git switch --recurse-submodules ${branch_name}
is a Git command that allows you to switch to a different branch while also updating the submodules in your repository.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
git switch
: This is the primary command used to switch between branches or restore working tree files. It is similar togit checkout
. -
--recurse-submodules
: This flag tells Git to also update the submodules when switching to the new branch. Submodules are separate Git repositories embedded within your main repository. -
${branch_name}
: This is a placeholder for the name of the branch you want to switch to. You need to replace${branch_name}
with the actual name of the branch you want to switch to.
So, when you execute this command, Git will switch to the branch specified by ${branch_name}
and also update the submodules within your repository according to the configurations defined in the new branch.
