Staged pins survive a restore at every depth and are the targets of the submodules below. For a submodule with a staged pin, x asks whether to restore to the staged or the committed pin, the latter unstaging it. Staged pins of a repository that moves count as a loss.

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
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).
Status
Prototype. The UI is complete for browsing. It reads real repositories
through a git provider (internal/submodule/git): submarine [dir]. It
fetches only when asked (f) and follows changes made in other shells. submarine --mock shows
the built-in mock data (internal/submodule/mock). ! shows only
submodules with problems. x restores the selection
(actions.md); stage pin is drafted there.
Next steps, roughly in order:
- Stage pin, see actions.md. (Restore is done.)
- (done) "Problems only" (
!) view, reusing the tree's filter.
