My real case Migrate repository from BitBucket to GitHub. I could delete Commit histories. What I’ve done Update .gitignore. Delete docs directory. Update netlify.toml [build] publish = "docs" command = "hugo --gc --minify" [context.production.environment] HUGO_VERSION = "0.87.0" rm -rf data #old dir structure rm -rf .git rm -rf theme/mainroad git init git submodule add git@github.com:Vimux/Mainroad.git themes/mainroad git config --global user.name atlex00 git config --global user.email ... git commit git push origin master --force
Completely delete submodule from the repository Here is the graceful memo.
I copy&paste it to here.
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 Do you forgot to clone with --recursive ?
