Next, if you are using `gitlab-runner` v1.10+, you can set the `GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY` variable to either `normal` or `recursive` to tell the runner to fetch your submodules before the job: - ```yaml - variables: - GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive - ``` - See the [`.gitlab-ci.yml` reference](yaml/README.md#git-submodule-strategy) - for more details about `GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY`. + + ```yaml + variables: + GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive + ``` + + See the [`.gitlab-ci.yml` reference](yaml/README.md#git-submodule-strategy) + for more details about `GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY`. 1.
