The `Mobile-Expensify` directory is a **Git submodule**. This means it points to a specific commit on the `Mobile-Expensify` repository.

If you'd like to fetch the submodule while executing the `git pull` command in `Expensify/App` instead of updating it manually you can run this command in the root of the project:

```
git config submodule.recurse true
```

> [!WARNING]
> Please, remember that the submodule will get updated automatically only after executing the `git pull` command - if you switch between branches it is still recommended to execute `git submodule update` to make sure you're working on a compatible submodule version!

If you'd like to download the most recent changes from the `main` branch, please use the following command:
```bash
git submodule update --remote
