If I run git submodule foreach each '$name', then my shell eats the single quotes (which are only to prevent my shell from interpreting $name). git submodule will see $name, so it will run echo $name, not echo '$name'. > What happens if you use double instead of single quotes? Then my shell eats up the double quotes _and_ replaces $name with nothing, so I can't expect git submodule to replace it with the submodule name then :-) Does that help to clarify what I mean? Gr.
