This approach is useful when you need to manage <strong>dependencies</strong> between different codebases while keeping them autonomous.</p> <p>Submodules point to a <strong>specific commit</strong> of an external repository. This ensures that every version of the main project uses exactly the same revision of its submodules, providing <strong>consistency and reproducibility</strong>.</p>
