If you're doing this a lot, you can create an executable script discoverable in your PATH named git-submodule-remove with the following contents: https://github.com/panozzaj/conf/blob/master/common/bin/git-submodule-remove
Then you can run git submodule-remove path/to/submodule to quickly remove it.
rm -rf is Linux/UNIX only, you shouldn't assume that we're all using Linux
@Sasino97 - If you're not on a *NIX environment you are likely on Windows then, and you can use my Powershell variant I shared earlier in this thread.
Thank you!

This seems to be a more modern version (copied from https://stackoverflow.com/a/36593218/2066118):
# Remove the submodule entry from .git/config git submodule deinit -f path/to/submodule # Remove the submodule directory from the superproject's .git/modules directory rm -rf .git/modules/path/to/submodule # Remove the entry in .gitmodules and remove the submodule directory located at path/to/submodule git rm -f path/to/submoduleWe should upvote this answer
For those of us on Windows, here's the equivalent in Powershell:
# Remove the submodule entry from .git/config git submodule deinit -f path\to\submodule # Remove the submodule directory from the superproject's .git/modules directory rm .git\modules\path\to\submodule -r -fo # Remove the entry in .gitmodules and remove the submodule directory located at path/to/submodule git rm -f path\to\submodule
Good response, Thank's man.

I was using this gist for a while. It was really helpful!
However, deleting a submodule it’s a lot easier nowadays. Latest GitHub versions allows you to run: git rm <path_to_submodule> and git takes care of it. Afterwards you just need to commit the changes and that’s it.
I hope this helps.
Got an error from the "git rm --cached path_to_submodule" part. (something about sparse checkout)
Fixed it by running this intead:
"git update-index --remove path_to_submodule"
Obrigado!
Thanks!
Seemed to work well :)
Suggestion: we can run command git config -f .gitmodules --remove-section "submodule.<submodule_name>"
