In PBS 172 Bart Busschots explained what Git submodules are and the kinds of problems they solve. In this practical lesson, he walks us through three scenarios where we actually get to type in Git commands to learn how the process works. We get to pretend we're in a small web app business where company branding is important.

In the first scenario, we're a new developer joining an app team and we have a repo that already includes the branding submodule. In the second scenario, we're a seasoned developer on the team creating a new app and we need to import the branding submodule. Finally, in the third scenario, we're one of the brand designers and we want to update the branding.

In the third scenario we learn two different ways to incorporate the branding changes into our web apps.

I'm always happy when I get to play along in the Terminal, so this lesson was great fun.
