I have a repository with submodules from other repositories. When I do a git pull origin master , all changes for the current repository and its submodules automatically come. Which team can get changes only for the current repository?

    according to the default documentation , sub-modules are not polled. Apparently, you have reconfigured something somewhere (for example, like this ), and now you want to “return everything back”. - aleksandr barakin

By default, git does not poll ( recurse_submodules_default zero, by default) the repositories of the submodules, it means that you have something in the configuration files that causes git to do this. But this behavior can be explicitly disabled by calling pull like this:

 git pull --no-recurse-submodules

This is a clear prohibition on fetch commit for submodules.
