Git submodules

Question

From on May 31, 2017 9:58

Probably a low priority niche use case, but a new "language" for updating git submodule versions would be incredibly useful (at least for me).

I have a number of Jekyll sites that include content from other repositories via submodules: https://github.com/SomethingNewUK/somethingnewuk.github.io/ is probably the most complex of those, with about 4 submodules in various subdirectories.

User story attempt:

As a website maintainer who does silly things with Jekyll I would like to be able to add a "git submodule" language to a repository So that I can get an automatic PR created when the submodule's repository has been updated

In theory, I'm 👍 - it'd be a nice feature to support, and the implementation shouldn't be too tricky.

We'll update this issue when we have a more concrete plan.
