Checkout Submodule Action

Recursively checks out any submodules in your repository.

steps:
- name: Checkout repository
  uses: actions/checkout@master
- name: Checkout submodules
  uses: textbook/git-checkout-submodule-action@master

New in version 2.1.0. You can optionally set the --remote flag:

steps:
- name: Checkout repository
  uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Checkout submodules
  uses: textbook/git-checkout-submodule-action@master
  with:
    remote: true

Alternatives

• You can use the submodules input to the checkout action:

  steps:
  - name: Checkout repository and submodules
    uses: actions/checkout@v2
    with:
      submodules: recursive
  

• just run the command directly:

  steps:
  - name: Checkout repository
    uses: actions/checkout@v2
  - name: Checkout submodules
    run: git submodule update --init --recursive
  

• or use git Actions instead:

  steps:
  - name: Checkout repository
    uses: actions/checkout@v2
  - name: Checkout submodules
    uses: srt32/[email protected]
    with:
      args: git submodule update --init --recursive
