You'll need to do 3 things in order to remove the submodule.
In your current working path:
- Remove any entries for your submodule in ".gitmodules"
- Remove any entries for your submodule in ".git/config"
Thats the easy bit. Lastly, you'll need to type:
git rm --cached submodule_name
Wish there was an easier way...
