I have a small personal project that I want to use submodules for. For each of the submodules, I set up a git repository and then used git submodule add to add them to the super project. When I try to clone the super project I get this error

/git_repositories/biatch/.git/refs/remotes/origin: No such file or
directory
Warning: Remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

What does this mean? Everything is on my laptop so I don't know if it is trying to go to a URL or something. I'm a newbie and documentation about this is sparse. Thanks.
