The process for switching the branch tracked by a git subrepository is:

  1. Navigate to the root directory of the parent repository
  2. Use the git submodule command to access the subrepository: git submodule update --init subrepo
  3. Navigate to the subrepository directory: cd subrepo
  4. Use the git branch command to list the available branches: git branch
  5. Use the git checkout command to switch to the desired branch: git checkout branch_name
  6. Return to the root directory of the parent repository: cd ..
  7. Update the parent repository to reflect the new subrepository branch: git add subrepo git commit -m "Switch subrepo to branch_name"
