Declaration [src]

void
ggit_submodule_update (
  GgitSubmodule* submodule,
  gboolean init,
  GgitSubmoduleUpdateOptions* options,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Update a submodule. This will clone a missing submodule and checkout the subrepository to the commit specified in the index of the containing repository. If the submodule repository doesn’t contain the target commit (e.g. because fetchRecurseSubmodules isn’t set), then the submodule is fetched using the fetch options supplied in options.

Parameters

init

Type: gboolean

If the submodule is not initialized, setting this flag to true will initialize the submodule before updating. Otherwise, this will return an error if attempting to update an uninitialzed repository. but setting this to true forces them to be updated.

options

Type: GgitSubmoduleUpdateOptions

A GgitSubmoduleUpdateOptions object.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
