How to auto deploying git repositories with submodules on AWS?

Question

I have a submodule in my git repository and my directory structure is like,

app
  -- folder1
  -- folder2
  -- submodule @5855

I have deployed

Answer 1

It has been so long since the issue with submodules was found. But aws cannot fix it. So codepipeline cannot send .git directory to codebuild. So we have to invent new bicecles, my fix is this in buildspec.yml pre-build command

rm -rf $PWD/*
git clone --depth 1 https://  -b develop .
git submodule update --init --recursive

AWS hurry up, cuz our team is considering move back to github.
