The de-facto version control system.




* Submodules

- one way to vendor dependencies or use another project within the worktree
- Git will inspect =.gitmodules= as the submodule configuration file;
  while it is plain-text, it is mostly managed with the ~git submodule~ subcommand
- to clone an existing project that uses submodules, you can add the =--recursive= flag on the ~git fetch~ subcommand;
  if it's already clone, you can proceed as normal (e.g., ~git submodule init && git submodule update~)
