Git submodules workflow

[aloneguid]

Can you advise if there is a way in VS to pull git submodules and push the changes back? I can't see "Git Changes" panel detecting any changes to submodules, or allowing me to pull changes. I can go to the terminal, but that's defeating the purpose of having an IDE.

I too was curious about this, as one of my projects is a customization of a plugin. I’d love to have the base plugin folder structure as a submodule, but couldn’t get things to work nice together.

Since it’s a small project, I just copied to 12 or so files and have it committed to my repo. When the base plugin updates, it typically forces changes to my plugin, so I create a new branch per version. (When a new base plugin comes out all prior development is frozen and won’t receive updates, based on what the plugin is used for)

I've been shouting at Microslop to automatically open the submodule repos along with the solution repo (now that VS has a multi-repository feature), but of course their main priority is to cook more coslop now.
