When creating a git submodule using git bash, I am getting below error
$ git submodule add https://github.com/******/my-repo/my-app
Cloning into 'D:/my-repo/my-app'...
remote: Not Found
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/*******/my-repo/my-app/' not found
fatal: clone of 'https://github.com/*******/my-repo/my-app' into submodule path 'D:/my-repo/my-app' failed
Below is my .git/config file
$ cat .git/config
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = false
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
symlinks = false
ignorecase = true
[remote "origin"]
url = https://github.com/*******/my-repo.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
I was able to clone my-repo from github, but when I try to add a submodule after cloning, I am seeing this error. Should I create a repo for my-app submodule separately in github to be able to add it as a submodule in another repo (my-repo) ?
Or, am I missing any configuration here ?
PS: I was following this link - https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules

Yes.
https://github.com/******/my-repo/my-app is not the URL of a Git repo to be cloned.
It is the URL of a subfolder of an existing repository (namely: https://github.com/*******/my-repo.git).
Having myapp in its own repository is a prerequisite to being able to add it as a submodule to another repo.
