Update Git submodule to latest commit on origin

Question

I have a project with a Git submodule. It is from an ssh://... URL, and is on commit A. Commit B has been pushed to that URL, and I want the submodule to retrieve the commit

Answer 1

Plain and simple, to fetch the submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

And now proceed updating them to the latest master branch (for example):

git submodule foreach git pull origin master
