Git Submodule & Git LFS

Git Submodule

… allows you to include one repository inside another, keeping them as separate projects.

  • Add a submodule to your repo
    $ git submodule add <repo-url> <path>
    
  • Update the submodules in your repo
    $ git submodule update --init --recursive
    
  • Remove a submodule from your repo
    $ git submodule rm <path>
    

Git LFS (large file storage)

… allows you to store pointers to large binary files that are kept in a remote storage.

  • Add a file pointer to your repo
    $ git lfs track <path>
    
  • Update the file pointers in your repo
    $ git lfs pull
    
  • Remove a file pointer from your repo
    $ git lfs untrack <path>
