    <p>I have a Ruby on Rails project (versioned with git) that includes a number of external JavaScript dependencies that exist in various public GitHub repositories. What's the best way to include those dependencies in my repository (aside, of course, from just manually copying them in) in a way that allows me to control when they get updated?</p> <p>git submodules seem like the perfect way to go, but it causes problems when switching among several branches, many of which don't contain the same submodules.</p> <p>If git submodules are the best way to do it, I suppose my real question is: How can I use submodules among many branches without running into this problem all the time:</p> <pre><code>my_project[feature/new_feature√]$ git submodule update Cloning into public/javascripts/vendor/rad_dependency... remote: Counting objects: 34, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (29/29), done. remote: Total 34 (delta 9), reused 0 (delta 0) Receiving objects: 100% (34/34), 12.21 KiB, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (9/9), done.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
