This is for when you have forked and cloned a repository that contains a submodule you would like to replace with your own implementation:
$> git clone ... $> rm .gitmodule $> rm -r <path to submodule> $> git update-index --force-remove <path to submodule> $> git submodule add <your git url> <path to submodule> $> git submodule init $> git submodule update
If there’s an easier I’d love to know what it is.
Cheers!
