submodule pointer
Definition
A submodule pointer is the exact commit SHA the master chirag127/oriz
repo records for each of its submodule directories — the contract for
what gets deployed to production.
Expanded
When you commit inside sites/<name>/, the submodule itself moves to
a new SHA, but the master repo still points at the old SHA until you
git add sites/<name> and commit at the master level. The master
matrix deploy.yml workflow checks out the master pointers, not the
submodule tips, so the pointer bump is the production deploy event.
Convention: bump commits in master use the message
chore(submodule): bump <name> to <short-sha>.
