Question

I have a typical ruby project and I would like to include a submodule within that project. The submodule lives on github. How do I use the git submodule command to include the submodule in my projects vender/plugins directory?

Thanks.

From git submodule --help we can see:

git submodule [--quiet] add [-b branch] [-f|--force]
              [--reference <repository>] [--] <repository> [<path>]

So, given a repository “my-plugin” at “[e-mail]:my-user/my-plugin.git”, you would use

git submodule add [e-mail]/my-user/my-plugin.git vendor/plugins/my-plugin
