Hello, It is possible to combine submodule and worktree with a center cache like `$HOME/.git-modules`
to speed up `git submodule update —init` and save disk space. Now I managed them manually. I suppose it will
be support by git automatically.
Best wishes.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do but if you are doing this:
git clone --recurse-submodules git@some.server:myrepo
cd myrepo
git worktree add /path/to/worktree
then you can make the submodules part of the worktree go faster by
using the --reference option:
cd /path/to/worktree
git submodule update --reference /path/to/myrepo
That way the submodule syncs don't have to go back to the original
server to get the objects, they can get them from the local copy that
you've already got.
However, I may have misunderstood what you are trying to do.
