How to get rid of Git submodules untracked status?

Question

I can\'t seem to get rid of untracked content in Git\'s submodules. Running git status yields:

# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
#          


        

Answer 1

I prefer to use SourceTree, so the solution for me was to open the submodule repo in SourceTree which shows me list of all untracked files. I then group selected them all then used "Remove".

I was able to do this because I knew all the untracked files weren't actually needed.
