The GitHub app doesn't show submodules in repositories

[euna8815]

I expected it to show the git submodules in the repositories, so I could locate them easily.
It rather looks like a bug than a missing festure since the web version of GitHub does show the submodule directory.

Need to see what Github's API offers us here.

API get it from contents api.

It shows like "directory" and you need to see if is submodule, so it's an app side

[ZacSweers]

Will the API tell us if it's a submodule though?

These kind of thing should be considered while we rewrite the API-client in the app (If it exists)
