Git Submodules basic explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of usecases of submodules:

• (10/30/2016) I am not sure when and how this gist gained quite a few stars... But as stated in the v1.13 change log (from 06/16/2015): some content may be outdated, and I am not going to fix them. Moreover, having learned much myself, I do not necessarily agree with every point made in this document from 2.5 years ago. Therefore, please take views from this document with a grain of salt, and do further research as you see fit.

For another example, when I say "you seem to love Sublime Text a lot," I'm certainly not expecting most people to love Sublime (in fact I never used it for more than three minutes in a row).

• This document is written in Markdown. The Markdown rendering engine on GitHub Gist is somewhat limited a
