Clone repo with submodules using nodegit

Question

What is the equivalent way of executing git clone --recurse-submodules git@myrepo.git with NodeGit?

I've found some manual examples of how to do it but they're quite old and I'm hoping there's a native way to do it now.

Answer 1

There's no way to do this with nodegit natively because it's not supported by the underlying library, libgit2: https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit/issues/1233#issuecomment-809717805
