| Sep 11, 2021 at 19:32 | comment | added | Iulian Onofrei | "there was zero explanation of what it does" - it obviously updates git submodules, because that's what was asked 😂 | |
| Sep 11, 2021 at 19:28 | comment | added | Iulian Onofrei | @DanNissenbaum, Wow, you're the first person to back me up. And I've taken a lot of downvotes, closed questions/answers, etc. for trying to help others. | |
| Sep 10, 2021 at 18:25 | comment | added | Dan Nissenbaum | A few years later, looking over this comment thread - a perfect example of an overzealous SO editor. Glad the OP of the answer stood up for himself. Wow. | |

| Dec 18, 2017 at 8:56 | comment | added | Jonathan Leffler | Definitively not "clear for everybody" — I don't realize that at all. I didn't know it. I'm not sure how big of a minority I'm in (if, indeed, I'm in a minority). The answer was not helpful to me because there was zero explanation of what it does. It is better; it still ain't perfect. It ain't my down-vote, so I can't undo it. It is my delete vote; I'm trying to remember/discover how to cancel that. | |
| Dec 18, 2017 at 8:55 | comment | added | Iulian Onofrei | But you realise that is was clear for everybody that as of almost 2018, this was the correct command that achieves this simple task, right? | |

You've dramatically improved the answer — it would be sensible to do the editing before making comments so that I see your improvements, not the status quo ante. I'd prefer to see a discussion of the --rebase too. Reassuring that it works is good; explaining what it does helps too.

| Dec 18, 2017 at 8:53 | comment | added | Iulian Onofrei | I edited the answer to prove you wrong, also, stackoverflow.com/questions/1979167/git-submodule-update/… !!! | |
| Dec 18, 2017 at 8:52 | comment | added | Iulian Onofrei | By that, I meant that it works instead of not working. Believe me, if more people were to see this answer, they would be glad, because it works. For things like this, most people just want to know the command that updates a git submodule, not how it's implemented. | |

| Dec 18, 2017 at 8:49 | comment | added | Jonathan Leffler | There's a comment by MindTooth from 2015 saying this is what they do now. You give no explanation of what this does (though you do mention MindTooth, but there's no real explanation of what you mean by that -— embedding URLs, as in this comment, would help). You don't say why it is a good idea. You don't give any caveats. This isn't, in my view, a helpful answer because it raises more questions than it resolves. | |
| Dec 18, 2017 at 8:44 | comment | added | Iulian Onofrei | It's not "yet another answer", as NO other answer has this command (prove me wrong). Other answers didn't work for me, this comment did, so I decided to post it as an answer while giving credit to the original owner. So consider removing your downvote. | |
