I'm using TortoiseGit to maintain git repository. We have one repo with multiple submodules in each. Everything works fine but when I'm trying to pull main repo, submodules aren't updating. I must pull every submodule one by one.

Is there an option in tortoise to use only one pull command from menu to update all changes in all submodules for repo?

(git 1.8.2 or later)

  1. git pull

  2. git submodule update --merge --remote

Here are the corresponding screens of TortoiseGit to perform the task.
