Hi,

I couldn't find a git-submodule command to delete a submodule. What is the correct procedure?

I did:

  * removed the entry from .gitmodules;
  * run git submodule sync

But its still recorded somewhere.

Thanks,

git rm --cached path/to/submodule git commit -m'Submodule path/to/submodule removed'
