I did this by adapting gahooa's answer above:

Integrate it with a git [alias] ...

If your parent project has something like this in .gitmodules:

[submodule "opt/submodules/solarized"]
    path = opt/submodules/solarized
    url = git@github.com:altercation/solarized.git
[submodule "opt/submodules/intellij-colors-solarized"]
    path = opt/submodules/intellij-colors-solarized
    url = git@github.com:jkaving/intellij-colors-solarized.git

Add something like this inside your .gitconfig

[alias]
    updatesubs = "!sh -c \"git submodule init && git submodule update && git submodule status\" "

Then to update your submodules, run:

git updatesubs

I have an example of it in my environment setup repo.
