No submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path and missing .gitmodules file
- Make sure that there are no
submodulesections in.git/config. If there are, remove them. - Do
git rm --cached <path_to_submodule>.
just got over the same issue yesterday, after having deleted by hand the entry in .gitmodules (e.g. nano .gitmodules), I had to go with
git rm --cached <pathtomodule>
which returned a message
rm '<pathtomodule>'
then I needed a
git commit -m "delete cached modules"
and validated the submodule deletion.
In addition to the above I also had to remove .gitmodules.
