The header stands for the root repository: it is selected on startup, shows the root's own state word, and the detail pane shows its state like a submodule's (HEAD vs. upstream, changes, unpushed, leftover submodule clones as untracked repositories). Submodules are ignored in the root's changes; their rows show them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# submarine — documentation
|
|
|
|
submarine is a terminal UI for git repositories with many (recursively nested)
|
|
submodules. It shows **the submodules**, as a collapsible tree (plus the state
|
|
of the superproject itself in the header), and
|
|
describes each pin as a **branch plus distance** (`origin/main ↓1`) instead of a
|
|
bare commit hash.

## Install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -fsSL https://git.simon-franken.de/simonfranken/submarine/raw/branch/main/install.sh | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Installs `submarine` and the alias `sub` (linux/macOS, amd64/arm64) to
|
|
`~/.local/bin`. Update with `submarine update`. Maintainers publish with
|
|
`GITEA_TOKEN=… make release` (see [architecture](architecture.md#distribution)).
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
**Prototype.** The UI is complete for browsing. It reads real repositories
|
|
through a git provider (`internal/submodule/git`): `submarine [dir]`. It
|
|
fetches in the background on startup (`--no-fetch` to skip; `f` to fetch
|
|
again) and follows changes made in other shells. `submarine --mock` shows
|
|
the built-in mock data (`internal/submodule/mock`). The actions `u`, `b`,
|
|
`!` only show a "not implemented" message.
|
|
|
|
Next steps, roughly in order:
|
|
|
|
1. Actions: checkout pin (`submodule update`), bump pin to tip, init.
|
|
2. "Problems only" (`!`) view; it can reuse the tree's filter.
