Run bash command in CocoaPods post_install step

Question

I would like to make CocoaPods run git submodule init in the project root directory after it's done installing the pods. There is a post_install hook, but I found very little information about how to use it. Can it be used to run arbitrary bash commands?

Answer 1

Well, that was easier than expected...

post_install do |installer|
  system("git submodule init")
end
