If you have a submodule inside your git repo, it’s often handy to just pull all the changes from remote, including your actual git repo, but also all your submodules. If you are on git 1.7.3 or later, you can just add a ~/.gitconfig alias like the following:
[alias]
pullall = !git pull --recurse-submodules && git submodule update --recursive
The 2nd command (git submodule update) is needed to actually check out the new commits (the ones your master repository points to) in the submodules.
Example:
$ git pullall remote: Counting objects: 24, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (12/12), done. remote: Total 13 (delta 7), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (13/13), done.
