How do I correctly move a git submodule?

What is the best way to deal with multiple git projects?

  • I have a very large codebase to work with that is split up into multiple projects.  Currently I have a git repository for each project.  There is a master project that references many sub projects.  This is done with git submodules.  We frequently change code in the submodules and I'm finding git submodule to be a pain.  What are some better alternatives?

  • Answer:

    You can use google's repo  tool. This is wrapper written on top of Git which is very useful to manage bunch of git repositories http://code.google.com/p/git-repo/ http://source.android.com/source/version-control.html

Try tada (https://github.com/agmen-hu/tada). It's a multi-repository git client, so you don't need to manage sumodules. Find a 2min video here:

I use submodules very often in projects of your kind. What exactly is your pain as for me submodules works pretty good.
