Capistrano v3 custom Submodule Strategy example

Capfile

require 'capistrano/setup'
require 'capistrano/deploy'

require 'capistrano/scm'
require 'capistrano/git'
class Capistrano::Git < Capistrano::SCM
  module SubmoduleStrategy
    include DefaultStrategy

    def release
      context.execute :rm, '-rf', release_path
      git :clone, '--branch', fetch(:branch),
        '--recursive',
        '--no-hardlinks',
        repo_path, release_path
    end
  end
end

deploy.rb

# ....other configuration
set :git_strategy, Capistrano::Git::SubmoduleStrategy

From the v2 code:
https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/blob/legacy-v2/lib/capistrano/recipes/deploy/scm/git.rb#L132

Should I need to do a "git submodule update --init --recursive" to have a submodule from a submodule cloned, or this code is enough?

Also, where should I override to disable the removing o .git folder?

Thanks! Went hunting through a bunch of different solutions but this was the one that worked for me.

This worked perfectly for me, thank you for posting.

Perfect. Thanks!

Trying to find some way to do this, but this doesn't work in Capistrano 3.11 since the DefaultStrategy constant is not found.
