I have git cloned phosa git repo which depends on 3 other git repos. I have git cloned those three and have modified their codes as needed. I now want to push the changes to my private git repo but I get the following warning.
How can I push the changes for these 3 git repo cloned inside the phosa repo by me?
$ git add .

Here's my git status results:
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes to be committed:
(use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
modified: .gitignore
new file: PHOSA_demo.ipynb
new file: external/detectron2
new file: external/frankmocap
new file: external/multiperson
new file: input.jpg
modified: phosa/pose_optimization.py
modified: requirements.txt
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
(commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)
modified: external/frankmocap (modified content)
modified: external/multiperson (modified content)
The way I fixed this problem is creating two git repo for the changes I have made to these submodules and also ignoring them in the actual repo using .gitignore:
$ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/monacv/frankmocap.git
