# 1. Set path_to_submodule var (no trailing slash):
path_to_submodule=path/to/submodule
 
# 2. Delete the relevant line from the .gitmodules file:
git config -f .gitmodules --remove-section submodule.$path_to_submodule
 
# 3. Delete the relevant section from .git/config
git config -f .git/config --remove-section submodule.$path_to_submodule
 
# 4. Unstage and remove $path_to_submodule only from the index (to prevent losing information)
git rm --cached $path_to_submodule
 
# 5. Track changes made to .gitmodules
git add .gitmodules
 
# 6. Commit the superproject
git commit -m "Remove submodule submodule_name"
 
# 7. Delete the now untracked submodule files from git modules
rm -rf .git/modules/$path_to_submodule
 
# 8. Delete the now untracked submodule files
rm -rf $path_to_submodule
