Git - Submodules are not processed when cloning a git project. #227150
Description
Type: Bug
When cloning a git project with submodules, all submodules in the project should be cloned and initialized as well.
Actual result:
When cloning a new github project that contains submodules, VsCode does not process any git submodules in the project. After cloning a project with submodules, you then have to issue the following command from a command prompt.
git submodule update --init --recursive
in order to clone and initialize all the project's submodules.
Expected behaviour:
Cloning a project in Github should install and initialize all the project's modules without requiring further actions by the user.
Instead of
git glone .....arguments....
VsCode should perform
git clone --recursive ... same arguments as above...
Repro:
The following github project has submodules.
https://github.com/rerdavies/pipedal
although most significant github projects also have submodules. Submodules in a github project are not rare at all.
An example of a more lightweight git project with submodules that isn't mine:
