Question

I have a project which have a git submodule the project is hosted in github.com

i cloned the project, using

git clone [e-mail]:myname/myproject.git

after that I did execute these,

git submodule init
git submodule update

and now if I do an update to the submodule codes I cant really push that to the submodule,

PS: i have access to both the project and the submodule, what can this be ?

thanks

You need to be at the submodule level to push:

cd path/to/submodule
git add -A && git commit && git push
cd -

One thing you may have to do is create or checkout a branch in the submodule and push that. You’ll only have to do that if you are operating in headless mode. You could also tag and push that tag up.
