Now when you push changes to your Git repository, you will see a link to your external repository in Beanstalk when you browse the repository. Please note that you can’t use submodules with non-Beanstalk repositories that require authentication. You can also add a submodule which links to a repository not hosted in Beanstalk using the same command. Please note that when adding an external repository, you need to use the account name in the URL in two places. In order to add a submodule to your Git repository all you need to do is run the following line in Terminal or Command line, from the Git repository that you cloned from Beanstalk: git submodule add externalrepoĪfter this, your external repository will be added to your Git repository in the folder externalrepo.

By using Git submodules you can automate the process of integrating the dependencies in your project and deploying the updates to your servers. Sometimes your project has dependencies which are not stored in the same repository, but are separate repositories hosted in Beanstalk or another service.
