I'm trying to remove submodule from my repo. This are the steps I'm using to remove the repo:
Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule
But when I ran this command git rm --cached path_to_submodule I get this error:
fatal: Please stage your changes to .gitmodules or stash them to proceed
If ran git status I get this message:
fatal: Not a git repository:path to submodule
Any of you knows why or how can I remove the submodule?
I'll really appreciate your help.
You might need to first unregister the submodule.
git submodule deinit <path_to_submodule>
