+
+aka everything [taco](https://mestizo.monster) and frends work on
+
+## cloning all submodules 
+
+```
+git clone --recurse-submodules --remote-submodules -j8 https://git.tacowolf.net/TacoWolf/websites
+```
+
+`--recurse-submodules` will automatically initialize and update each submodule in the repository to their last recorded SHA in this repo. 
+`--remote-submodules` will automatically fetch the latest versions of that submodule from that repo if there are untracked changes.
+`-j8` downloads more files in parallel. 
+
+then you can check out the source code for each project!
+
+## pushing over ssh
+
+on newer git versions, you can use `--add --push` to set a url to push in each repository, for example:
+
+```
+cd bird.tacowolf.net
+git remote set-url --add --push origin forgejo@git.tacowolf.net:TacoWolf/bird.tacowolf.net.git
+```
+
+for `bird.tacowolf.net`.
