This variable is copied from the .gitmodules + file to the git config via 'git submodule init'. The user can change + the configured URL before obtaining the submodule via 'git submodule + update'. If neither submodule.<name>.active or submodule.active are + set, the presence of this variable is used as a fallback to indicate + whether the submodule is of interest to git commands. + See linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details. + +submodule.<name>.update:: + The method by which a submodule is updated by 'git submodule update', + which is the only affected command, others such as + 'git checkout --recurse-submodules' are unaffected. It exists for + historical reasons, when 'git submodule' was the only command to + interact with submodules; settings like `submodule.active` + and `pull.rebase` are more specific. It is populated by + `git submodule init` from the linkgit:gitmodules[5] file. + See description of 'update' command in linkgit:git-submodule[1]. + +submodule.<name>.branch:: + The remote branch name for a submodule, used by `git submodule + update --remote`. Set this option to override the value found in + the `.gitmodules` file. See linkgit:git-submodule[1] and + linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details. + +submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules:: + This option can be used to control recursive fetching of this + submodule. It can be overridden by using the --[no-]recurse-submodules + command-line option to "git fetch" and "git pull". + This setting will override that from in the linkgit:gitmodules[5] + file. + +submodule.<name>.ignore:: + Defines under what circumstances "git status" and the diff family show + a submodule as modified. When set to "all", it will never be considered + modified (but it will nonetheless show up in the output of status and + commit when it has been staged), "dirty" will ignore all changes + to the submodules work tree and + takes only differences between the HEAD of the submodule and the commit + recorded in the superproject into account. "untracked" will additionally + let submodules with modified tracked files in their work tree show up. + Using "none" (the default when this option is not set) also shows + submodules that have untracked files in their work tree as changed. + This setting overrides any setting made in .gitmodules for this submodule, + both settings can be overridden on the command line by using the + "--ignore-submodules" option. The 'git submodule' commands are not + affected by this setting. + +submodule.<name>.active:: + Boolean value indicating if the submodule is of interest to git + commands. This config option takes precedence over the + submodule.active config option. See linkgit:gitsubmodules[7] for + details. + +submodule.active:: + A repeated field which contains a pathspec used to match against a + submodule's path to determine if the submodule is of interest to git + commands. See linkgit:gitsubmodules[7] for details. + +submodule.recurse:: + Specifies if commands recurse into submodules by default. This + applies to all commands that have a `--recurse-submodules` option, + except `clone`. + Defaults to false. + +submodule.fetchJobs:: + Specifies how many submodules are fetched/cloned at the same time. + A positive integer allows up to that number of submodules fetched + in parallel. A value of 0 will give some reasonable default. + If unset, it defaults to 1. + +submodule.alternateLocation:: + Specifies how the submodules obtain alternates when submodules are + cloned. Possible values are `no`, `superproject`. + By default `no` is assumed, which doesn't add references. When the + value is set to `superproject` the submodule to be cloned computes + its alternates location relative to the superprojects alternate. + +submodule.alternateErrorStrategy:: + Specifies how to treat errors with the alternates for a submodule + as computed via `submodule.alternateLocation`. Possible values are + `ignore`, `info`, `die`. Default is `die`. Note that if set to `ignore` + or `info`, and if there is an error with the computed alternate, the + clone proceeds as if no alternate was specified. |
