Add documentation for runner GIT_SUBMODULE_UPDATE_FLAGS
What does this MR do?
This is a companion MR adding documentation for the implementation of GIT_SUBMODULE_UPDATE_FLAGS
in Add support for extra submodule update flags (gitlab-runner!3192 - merged).
I based this off the GIT_FETCH_EXTRA_FLAGS
section just above this one.
@ajwalker you may want to have a quick look at this as we already discussed the flag overlap in the implementation MR. Luckily, a similar situation happens with the fetch extra flags, so I was able to document it mostly the same way.

Follow the: -
Ensure that the product tier badge is added to topic's h1
. -
Request a review based on: - The documentation page's metadata.
- The associated Technical Writer.
If you are only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:
~"frontend"
~"backend"
~"type::bug"
~"database"
These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.
Review checklist
Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.
-
If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert. - Technical writer review items:
-
Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date. -
Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR. - If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
-
The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior
, say something likeDefault behavior when you close an issue
. -
The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK
, say something likeConfigure GDK
. -
Any task steps should be written as a numbered list. - If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.

-
Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review. -
Ensure a release milestone is set.
