2. Replace the existing modules in the customer folders with the new ones.
3. In Odoo, update the Apps List.
4. In Odoo, upgrade each of the new modules.

`git pull && git submodule update --init --recursive`

* `git pull`: Updates your main repository with the latest changes from remote.
* `git submodule update --init --recursive`: Ensures all submodules are initialized and updated.

`cd taxcloud_exemption`

`git pull`

`cd ..`

*Pulls the latest changes from the TaxCloud Exemption submodule and returns to the main repo.*

6\. Stage the changes

`git add .`

*Adds submodule updates to the commit in the main repo.*

7\. Commit the updates
