+git-submodule(1)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-submodule - Initialize, update or inspect submodules
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git-submodule' [--quiet] [-b branch] add <repository> [<path>]
+'git-submodule' [--quiet] [--cached] [status|init|update] [--] [<path>...]
+
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+add::
+	Add the given repository as a submodule at the given path
+	to the changeset to be committed next.  In particular, the
+	repository is cloned at the specified path, added to the
+	changeset and registered in .gitmodules.   If no path is
+	specified, the path is deduced from the repository specification.
+	If the repository url begins with ./ or ../, it is stored as
+	given but resolved as a relative path from the main project's
+	url when cloning.
+
+status::
+	Show the status of the submodules. This will print the SHA-1 of the
+	currently checked out commit for each submodule, along with the
+	submodule path and the output of gitlink:git-describe[1] for the
+	SHA-1. Each SHA-1 will be prefixed with `-` if the submodule is not
+	initialized and `+` if the currently checked out submodule commit
+	does not match the SHA-1 found in the index of the containing
+	repository. This command is the default command for git-submodule.
+
+init::
+	Initialize the submodules, i.e. register in .git/config each submodule
+	name and url found in .gitmodules. The key used in .git/config is
+	`submodule.$name.url`. This command does not alter existing information
+	in .git/config.
+
+update::
+	Update the registered submodules, i.e. clone missing submodules and
+	checkout the commit specified in the index of the containing repository.
+	This will make the submodules HEAD be detached.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-q, --quiet::
+	Only print error messages.
+
+-b, --branch::
+	Branch of repository to add as submodule.
+
+--cached::
+	Display the SHA-1 stored in the index, not the SHA-1 of the currently
+	checked out submodule commit. This option is only valid for the
+	status command.
+
+<path>::
+	Path to submodule(s). When specified this will restrict the command
+	to only operate on the submodules found at the specified paths.
+
+FILES
+-----
+When initializing submodules, a .gitmodules file in the top-level directory
+of the containing repository is used to find the url of each submodule.
+This file should be formatted in the same way as `$GIT_DIR/config`. The key
+to each submodule url is "submodule.$name.url".  See gitlink:gitmodules[5]
+for details.
