                Proper GCC (vers. 5/6/7) & LLVM/CLANG (vers. 4/5) Toolchain Setup on Ubuntu/Linux Mint
              
          
    This approach uses update-alternatives to manage GCC and LLVM/CLANG C/C++ compiler toolchains.
Although tested on Linux Mint 18.3, this approach should work on any Debian based distro or for that matter any Linux distro with update-alternatives support, provided the packages are installed correctly.
There are 3 files

gcc-alternatives.sh installs GCC versions 5/6/7 and sets up alternatives for gcc/g++/cpp/gfortran.
llvm-clang-alternatives.sh installs LLVM and CLANG versions 4/5 and sets up alternatives for various LLVM and CLANG programs including clang and clang++.
cc-alternatives.sh sets up alternatives for the cc, cxx, and the ld commands. This script can be used to change systemwide default compiler/linker combination to either GCC or CLANG.

Once these scripts are run you can change the system GCC/CLANG versions by running sudo update-alternatives --config gcc|clang. To change the default compiler/linker combo used by t

                How effectively delete a git submodule.
              
          
    To remove a submodule you need to:

Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule
