Downloading the Source Code
----------------------
The PowerShell repository has a number of other repositories embedded as submodules.
To make things easy, we can just clone recursively.
```sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell.git
```
2016-07-21 00:23:06 +00:00
If you already cloned but forgot to use `--recursive` , you can update submodules manually:
```sh
git submodule init
git submodule update
```
