Question

We\'re using git submodules to manage a couple of large projects that have dependencies on many other libraries we\'ve developed. Each library is a separate repo brought int

Answer 1

On init running the following command:

git submodule update --init --recursive

from within the git repo directory, works best for me.

This will pull all latest including submodules.

Explained

git - the base command to perform any git command
    submodule - Inspects, updates and manages submodules.
        update - Update the registered submodules to match what the superproject
        expects by cloning missing submodules and updating the working tree of the
        submodules. The "updating" can be done in several ways depending on command
        line options and the value of submodule..update configuration variable.
            --init without the explicit init step if you do not intend to customize
            any submodule locations.
            --recursive is specified, this command will recurse into the registered
            submodules, and update any nested submodules within.

After this you can just run:

git submodule update --recursive

from within the git repo directory, works best for me.

This will pull all latest including submodules.
