git submodules

cloning

git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:EYBlockchain/nightfall.git

pulling

git pull --recurse-submodules

If you didn't initially clone with the --recurse-submodules flag, you might need to init the git submodules first: git pull
git submodule update --init --recursive
This will pull the submodules' code into your repo for the first time (as subfolders). Thereafter the git pull --recurse-submodules command will pull changes.

pushing

git push --recurse-submodules=check checks for any changes you might have made in the submodule, and stops you pushing to Nightfall without first pushing to the submodule's remote repository.

pushing submodule changes to the submodule's repo

cd merkle-tree git commit -am "commit message" git push origin master

Now you can safely push to Nightfall: cd .. git push --recurse-submodules=check (always get in the habit of including the 'check' command)

checking out a new branch

git checkout --recurse-submodules master
