How to only update specific git submodules?

Question

So, updating all my submodules is done by running

git submodule foreach \'git pull origin master\'

How do I update a specific submo

Answer 1

If you've just cloned a repo with submodules, you can clone a specific submodule with:

git submodule update --init submoduleName

This will clone the master of that submodule, from their you can cd into the submodule and pull whatever branches you need.
