For many git-based projects, submodules are useful in avoiding duplicate work and easing utility library updates. There are times, however, when a submodule needs to be removed from a project. Submodules aren't removed with git rm submoduledir, they must be removed in a more tedious, manual fashion. There are many unclear explanations of how to remove a submodule but I found one onStack Overflowthat's concise, so I thought I'd share it. The steps are as follows:
- Delete the relevant section from the
.gitmodulesfile. The section would look similar to:[submodule "vendor"] path = vendor url = git://github.com/some-user/some-repo.git
- Stage the
.gitmoduleschanges via command line using:git add .gitmodules - Delete the relevant section from
.git/config, which will look like:[submodule "vendor"] url = git://github.com/some-user/some-repo.git
- Run
git rm --cached path/to/submodule. Don't include a trailing slash -- that will lead to an error. - Run
rm -rf .git/modules/submodule_name - Commit the change:
- Delete the now untracked submodule files
rm -rf path/to/submodule
Those steps will get you rid of that unwanted submodule. A lot harder than adding one, eh?
备注：如果工程与工程之前互相依赖，则需要分别删除后，在进行submodule的关联
