git status does not ignore submodules

  • 772

Even though I set git config --global diff.ignoreSubmodules git status does not ignore changes in submodules and still shows them as modified content. My git version is 2.20.1.
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

  1. You are not doing anything wrong diff.ignoreSubmodules is buggy and is ignored if submodule..ignore is set.

    You need to use the command line option --ignore-submodules=all instead or change the ignore setting for the module as they are the only mechanisms that work.
