I’ve shared about Git submodules before. I recently decided to use submodules again in some projects I’m developing because I decided to fork a Sass library to use and modify for my projects’ needs.
Submodules are useful since I can essentially treat a submodule as its own repo and make changes to it separate from the project from which it is used in.
I ran across, Chris Jean’s post on git submodules and it definitely gave me a better understanding of Git submodules. If you’re interested in using it yourself, I definitely suggest checking out his article.
One thing I would like to add on top of Chris Jean’s post is the part on how to remove a submodule.
An extra step that I had to take was to go into the .git folder found in my project’s root directory. And remove folders found in the modules folder to completely remove a submodule.
