How to perform git add path/to/submodule but in a way that will update the staging area to have the submodule set to a specific submodule hash instead of the currently checked out hash?

This would be very useful for me when splitting a bulk of changes into separate PRs.

You need to checkout that commit in the submodule and then commit it in the superproject:

cd path/to/submodule git checkout $COMMIT_HASH cd ../back/to/superproject git add path/to/submodule git commit -m "Update submodule"
