Description: Git submodules are a feature that allows you to include and manage external repositories within a main Git repository. This functionality is especially useful for projects that depend on libraries or code modules that are developed independently. By using submodules, developers can maintain separate version control for each component, facilitating collaboration and integration of different parts of the code. Submodules are stored in a specific folder within the main repository, and their state is managed through references to specific commits of the external repositories. This ensures that the main project always uses a specific version of each submodule, avoiding compatibility issues and allowing for smoother continuous integration. Additionally, submodules enable development teams to work on different parts of a project without interfering with each other’s work, improving organization and workflow efficiency. In summary, Git submodules are a powerful tool for managing dependencies in software projects, providing a structured and controlled approach to integrating and maintaining external code.
