The PowerShell repository has a number of other repositories embedded as submodules.
To make things easy, we can just clone recursively.

To make things easy, we can just clone recursively:

```sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell.git

```sh
git submodule init
git submodule update
git submodule update --init
```
