There was a problem hiding this comment.
how about a inline if statement, would that work?
sht like:
git clone {%- if add_submodules == true %}--recursive {%- endif %}https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/{{ project_slug }}.git

Which issue(s) are closed by this pull request?
While updating sofar, I noticed that a line in
CONTRIBUTING.rstshould be implemented differently if the package contains submodules.Changes proposed in this pull request:
CONTRIBUTING.rstfile so that, if submodules are included, the second step in setting up the project is$ git clone --recursive (...), and if they are not included just$ git clone (...)test_content_contributing()
