Git Submodules basic explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of usecases of submodules:

• Separate big codebases into multiple repositories.

import asyncio
import threading
import random


def thr(i):
    # we need to create a new loop for the thread, and set it as the 'default'
    # loop that will be returned by calls to asyncio.get_event_loop() from this
    # thread.
    loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()

How to change your commit messages in Git?

At some point you’ll find yourself in a situation where you need edit a commit message. That commit might already be pushed or not, be the most recent or burried below 10 other commits, but fear not, git has your back 🙂.

Not pushed + most recent commit:

git commit --amend

This will open your $EDITOR and let you change the message. Continue with your usual git push origin master.
