Pulling from a worktree?

Question

I have git repository which has a sub module from the same repository but different branch i added it using

git worktree add -b develop ../src

and when i type: git worktree list i get this:

but when i try to pull nothing changes in src folder.

i've added in .git/config:

[branch "develop"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/develop

still nothing changed.

Is there a command that when cloning the repository will pull automatically the sub-module with ?

From what I documented in "What goes wrong when using git worktree with git submodules", if you are using a Git 2.26+, a git checkout --recurse-submodules (documented here) done inside your new worktree should work with submodules.

Make sure to add your worktree in a patch which is not in the current local cloned repository.
