Cloning a Project With Submodules
Learn to clone a project with submodules with the help of a “recursive” flag.

Submodules have a special status within Git repositories. Since they are both included within a repository and at the same time reference as a remote repository, a simple clone will not check out the included submodule. Let’s show that:
1 cd ../..
2 git clone bob_repo bob_repo_cloned
3 cd bob_repo_cloned
4 ls -1
5 cd alicelib
6 ls
7 cd ..
