git-switch: Switch to a branch and update all submodules to match.

$ git switch --recurse-submodules ${branch_name}

try on your machine

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 to git 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.
