git-delete-submodule:tldr:4cae7

The command "git delete-submodule" is not a built-in Git command. It seems to be a custom or third-party command.

However, generally speaking, a submodule in Git refers to a separate project that is included within another project. It allows you to keep a Git repository as a subdirectory of another Git repository.

Based on the command you provided, "git delete-submodule ${path-to-submodule}", it seems like you are trying to remove a submodule from your Git repository.

The "${path-to-submodule}" placeholder should be replaced with the actual path to the submodule you want to delete.

To remove a submodule from a Git repository, you can use the following steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Navigate to the root directory of your Git repository.
3. Execute the following command: "git submodule deinit -f ${path-to-submodule}" This command unregisters the submodule, but the submodule files still remain.
4. Execute the following command: "git rm -f ${path-to-submodule}" This command removes the submodule files from your repository.
5. Execute the following command: "rm -rf .git/modules/${path-to-submodule}" This command removes the submodule metadata from your repository.
6. Lastly, commit the changes made to your repository with: "git commit -m 'Removed submodule ${path-to-submodule}'"

Make sure to replace "${path-to-submodule}" with the actual path to your submodule. It is important to note that deleting a submodule cannot be undone, and it is generally recommended to make a backup of your repository before making any significant changes.
