-If after cloning the main git repo the submodule contains nothing, it can be cloned.
+If the main git repo contains many submodules, it can be interesting to work only on one particular submodule.
+For example, if after cloning the main git repo the submodule contains nothing, it can be cloned independently of the others submodules.
 Suppose the path to submodule (from main repo path) is /path/to/mysubmodule, to clone it type :
 <code bash>

 If the submodule is not in the correct branch, these commands can be used to list the branches and set to the correct one (ex master)
 <code bash>
-git -C studwork /path/to/mysubmodule branch
+git -C /path/to/mysubmodule branch
-git -C studwork /path/to/mysubmodule checkout master
+git -C /path/to/mysubmodule checkout master
 </code>
 In general a git **command** on submodule can be acheived from main git repo by :
 <code bash>
-git -C studwork /path/to/mysubmodule command
+git -C /path/to/mysubmodule command
