A text input above the footer filters submodules by path (case-insensitive). Matches keep their ancestors. A filtered-out selection moves to the next visible submodule; esc closes the input and removes the filter. 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 only the submodules, as a collapsible tree, and
describes each pin as a branch plus distance (origin/main ↓1) instead of a
bare commit hash.

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).
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:
- Actions: checkout pin (
submodule update), bump pin to tip, init. - "Problems only" (
!) view; it can reuse the tree's filter.
