How to get only the path in the command "Git Submodule Status"

I'm new to Git and I'm trying to get all the paths of the submodules present.

Right now, when I execute the command git submodule status, I get the following output:

e1591f7ea63bcaaa7bee0b78b5dcf7754ea00410 main/abc (heads/master)
f61c2cd18e25228b681d516236b15eacc72363b6 xyz (heads/master)

Is there a way to get the output as a string like this:

 main/abc
 xyz
Solution

  • I tried to find an answer in the official documentation of Git, but failed to do so.

    So I used sed to filter out the content what I need.

    git submodule status | sed -n -e "s,^[-+\ ][^\ ]*\ \([^\ ]*\),\1,p"
