The PowerShell repository has a number of other repositories embedded as submodules.
To make things easy, we can just clone recursively:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell.gitIf you already cloned but forgot to use --recursive, you can update submodules manually:
git submodule update --initSee working with the PowerShell repository for more information.
