# Repository submodules API **(FREE)**
## Update existing submodule reference in repository
In some workflows, especially automated ones, it can be useful to update a
submodule's reference to keep up to date other projects that use it.
This endpoint allows you to update a [Git submodule](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules) reference in a
specific branch.
```plaintext
PUT /projects/:id/repository/submodules/:submodule
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
| `submodule` | string | yes | URL-encoded full path to the submodule. For example, `lib%2Fclass%2Erb` |
| `branch` | string | yes | Name of the branch to commit into |
| `commit_sha` | string | yes | Full commit SHA to update the submodule to |
| `commit_message` | string | no | Commit message. If no message is provided, a default is set |
```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/repository/submodules/lib%2Fmodules%2Fexample" \
