If the location (URL) of the submodule has changed, then you can simply:
|
|
|
|
1. Modify the <kbd>.gitmodules</kbd> file in the repo root to use the new URL.
|
|
2. Delete the submodule folder in the repo `rm -rf .git/modules/<submodule>`.
|
|
3. Delete the submodule folder in the working directory `rm -rf <submodule>`.
|
|
4. Run `git submodule sync`.
|
|
5. Run `git submodule update`.
