git pull --recurse-submodules
vs.
git submodule update --recursive --remote
I have seen these two been used in the same context when updating/pulling the latest submodules, but I can't find the difference between them and when to use which?

4The 1st affects (pull) the whole repo and submodules. The 2nd updates only the submodules. Here is https://stackoverflow.com/a/19621245/418599 a similar question that can be tailored to yours. – Antonio Petricca May 18 '21 at 21:08
