Git Submodules - Basic Explanation

Why submodules?

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

• Separate big codebases into multiple repositories.

10-Bit H.264

For all those who haven’t heard of it already, here’s a quick rundown about the
newest trend in making our encodes unplayable on even more systems: So-called
high-bit-depth H.264. So, why another format, and what makes this stuff
different from what you know already?

First off: What is bit depth?
In short, bit depth is the level of precision that’s available for storing color
information. The encodes you’re used to have a precision of 8 bits (256 levels)

A leak-proof tee to the clipboard

This script is modeled after tee (see [man tee][2]) and works on Linux, macOS, Cygwin, WSL/WSL2

It's like your normal copy and paste commands, but unified and able to sense when you want it to be chainable.

This project started as an answer to the StackOverflow question: [How can I copy the output of a command directly into my clipboard?][3]
