Git submodule add: “a git directory is found locally” issue

Question

I\'m actually trying to learn how to use git, including the git submodule subcommands. I already set up a server on which I can host, push and pull git reposito

Answer 1

You can do this while cloning your submodule:

git submodule add --name submodule_name submodule path

This will add your submodule into your project and will be added as a structure under .gitmodules file.

And then if you don't want the older one you can remove it from .gitmodules structure and delete the submodule folder from the project.
