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

Philosophy

Progressive disclosure

Swift shares Rust's enthusiasm for zero-cost abstractions, but also emphasizes progressive disclosure. Progressive disclosure requires that language features should be added in a way that doesn't complicate the rest of the language. This means that Swift aims to be simple for simple tasks, and only as complex as needed for complex tasks.
