   Proposed Method 1: Using git's internal files to accomplish this:

   Here is a starting point for figuring out how to handle submodules: .gitmodules vs .git/config

   • gives you the basics on how git handles submodules internally.
   • particularly, these 2 files define the path to the submodule and url to the git repository.

   according to this comment, .git/config takes precedence over .gitmodules
   this answer confirms that

   Proposed Method 2: Using git commands

   This question details methods to list off the submodules using the git command instead of using git's internal files.

   This method iterates through the .gitmodules file.
   This method iterates through the .git/config file (I believe it does anyway - based on a skim of git's source code)

   I would very much appreciate this feature. The really great addition "Copy GitHub deep links" yields invalid links when working in a repo with submodules 😒

   We are working on several apps that use a shared framework. This is included as a submodule. Since we often work on both in parallel, we usually create a pull request for the app and the framework.

   It would be great if the extension could also handle pull requests for submodules.

   There actually IS support of submodules, somewhat limited and probably unintended. See #5148 workaround.

   It seems that it could be enough to just sync to Source Control panel to "see" all checked out nested repos, including submodules.

   Submodules should work much better now. If you see specific issues with submodules, please file new issues and I will investigate!
