In one of my iOS project I have add a sub-module added, lets say a friend of my wants to pull it including the submodule, how can he do this? Whenever I tried to download the zip file from github it doesn't pull the submodule along with it

With Git 2.34, if the repository is cloned with the --recurse-submodules , a simple git pull will recurse into submodules.
It automatically pulls in the submodule data assuming you have already added the submodules to the parent project. Note that --recurse-submodules and --recursive are equivalent aliases.
Git clone with submodules The list of steps required to clone a Git repository with submodules is: Issue a git clone command on the parent repository. Issue a git submodule init command. Issue a git submodule update command.
That's by design. Get the submodules as a second step.
git clone git://url... cd repo git submodule update --init Then afterwards, add another step after the git pull.
git pull ... git submodule update --recursive Of course, this only works if the submodules are set up correctly in the first place...
