After resetting branch to an older commit, how can I update submodules accordingly?

I had to reset a current branch to a previous commit. I did

git reset --hard prev_commit_id

When I did a git status, it shows that my submodules have changes not staged for commit, presumably because the submodules are newer than what I reset my branch to. I am wondering what is the proper way to also reset those submodules to whatever state they were in at prev_commit_id?

Did you tried `git checkout .` ? – Hassen Gaaya Jun 21 '23 at 21:59
@HassenGaaya Just tried it and it seems nothing happens to the submodules – 24n8 Jun 21 '23 at 22:30
I think what you need is `git clean -f -d` – Hassen Gaaya Jun 21 '23 at 22:42
@HassenGaaya I don't see how that's submodule related – 24n8 Jun 21 '23 at 22:55

[`git submodule update --init --recursive`](https://stackoverflow.com/a/10168693/7976758) Found in https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bgit-submodules%5D+updates – phd Jun 22 '23 at 07:59
