1. Make sure that there are no `submodule` sections in `.git/config`. If there are, remove them.
2. Do `git rm --cached &lt;path_to_submodule&gt;`.

just got over the same issue yesterday, after having deleted by hand **the entry in .gitmodules** (e.g. nano .gitmodules), I had to go with 

    git rm --cached &lt;pathtomodule&gt; 

which returned a message

    rm &#39;&lt;pathtomodule&gt;&#39;

then I needed a 

    git commit -m &quot;delete cached modules&quot;

and validated the submodule deletion.

In addition to the above I also had to remove `.gitmodules`.

I&#39;ve been searching through a lot of the subparser examples on here and in general but can&#39;t seem to figure this seemingly simple thing out.

I have two var types of which one has constraints so thought subparser was the way to go. e.g. -t allows for either &quot;A&quot; or &quot;B&quot;. If the user passes &quot;A&quot; then they are further required to also specify if it is either &quot;a1&quot; or &quot;a2&quot;. If they pass just &quot;B&quot; then nothing.

Can I do this and have argparse return me what type of &quot;A&quot; was passed or if it was just &quot;B&quot;?

The below seems to work but for some reason breaks when passing anything after the subparse.

e.g. from a linux terminal

    &gt;&gt; python test01.py -t A a1 -v 61

errors with...

    usage: test01.py a1 [-h]
    test01.py a1: error: unrecognized arguments: -v

Hopefully that makes sense.

The code:

    import argparse
    
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(help=&#39;types of A&#39;)
    
    parser.add_argument(&quot;-t&quot;,
                        choices = [&quot;A&quot;, &quot;B&quot;],
                        dest = &quot;type&quot;,
                        required=True,
                        action=&#39;store&#39;,
                        help=&quot;Some help blah blah&quot;)
    
    cam_parser = subparsers.add_parser(&#39;a1&#39;, help=&#39;Default&#39;)
    cam_parser.set_defaults(which=&#39;a1&#39;)
    
    cam_parser = subparsers.add_parser(&#39;a2&#39;, help=&#39;parse this instead of default&#39;)
    cam_parser.set_defaults(which=&#39;a2&#39;)
    
    
    parser.add_argument(&quot;-v&quot;,
                        nargs = &#39;+&#39;,
                        required=True,
                        dest = &quot;version&quot;,
                        type=int,
                        action=&#39;store&#39;,
                        help=&quot;some version help blah blah&quot;)   
    
    argument = parser.parse_args()
    
    print argument.type
    print argument.version

How to use argparse subparsers correctly?

Trying to figure out the best approach for a large project. When is it appropriate to add recipes within a recipe by using `include_recipe` as opposed to adding the recipe to the `run_list`? Is there a good rule of thumb?

Should I use include_recipe or add the recipe to run_list?

When I run `git submodule init`, I get the following error:

&gt;No submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path &#39;xxx&#39;

I searched for a `.gitmodules` file and I cannot find it anywhere.

I have read [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4185365/no-submodule-mapping-found-in-gitmodule-for-a-path-thats-not-a-submodule) most popular SO question on the same topic. 
But unfortunately, I cannot solve the problem. Especially given that I no longer have `.gitmodules`.

According to my GitHub private repo, I still have submodules for my repository. Just that I cannot find the `.gitmodules` file anywhere.

By default `git diff` prints all `+-` lines to the stdout however I have a (devian) machine (which I connect through ssh) where `git diff` leads me to an editor (which I don&#39;t know which is) and I need to press &lt;kbd&gt;q&lt;/kbd&gt; to continue.

I&#39;ve checker git config and it looks like :

    $ git config --list
    user.name=XXX
    user.email=XXX@XXX
    color.ui=false
    difftool.prompt=false
    mergetool.prompt=false
    core.repositoryformatversion=0
    core.filemode=true
    core.bare=false
    core.logallrefupdates=true
    remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    remote.origin.url=XXX
    branch.master.remote=origin
    branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master
    $ git config --global --list
    user.name=XXX
    user.email=XXX@XXX
    color.ui=false
    difftool.prompt=false
    mergetool.prompt=false
    $ git config --system --list
    &#39;/etc/gitconfig&#39;: No such file or directory

Is there a place I am missing? Maybe the unknown tool is a fallback or something because I my machine is missing something? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I am in charge of several Excel files and SQL schema files. How should I perform better document version control on these files?

I need to know the part modified (different part) in these files and keep all the versions for reference. Currently I am appending the time stamp on the file name, but I found it seemed to be inefficient.

Is there a way or good practice to do better document version control?

By the way, editors send me the files via email.

I am new in `git` and I am practicing. I created a local branch but I saw that when I did `git push` my branch was not uploaded to the repository. I had to actually do: `git push -u origin --all`.  
Why is this? Isn&#39;t a branch a new change to be pushed by default? Why do I need to run the second command?

Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?

*The question is about Magit major mode for Emacs function and less so about how to do this via command line interface.*

I only have a local Git repository. How would I restore a selected file to its previous version? I believe that the Git command for this must be something like `git checkout HEAD^ path/to/file` but I may be wrong here too, just guessing really.

What I&#39;m looking for is essentially the same thing as &lt;kbd&gt;C-x v u&lt;/kbd&gt; in `vc-dir` buffer.

Essentially, what I was hoping to do was:

* delete the modified file.

* pull from local repo.

But **Magit** doesn&#39;t seem to be able to do that, it seems to prefer to just delete the file, instead of restoring it.

When I try to apply a patch from a file, I see

&lt;pre&gt;
error: cannot apply binary patch to &#39;my/resource.png&#39; without full index line
error: my/resource.png: patch does not apply
&lt;/pre&gt;

I added `my/resource.png` in the commit from which I made the patch. How can I enabled full-index support?

I have a web application that explores other web applications in a particular way. It contains some web demos in a `demos` folder and one of the demo should now have it&#39;s own repository. I would like to create a separate repository for this demo application and make it a &lt;del&gt;subpackage&lt;/del&gt; [submodule][1] from main repository without losing its commit history.

*Is it possible to keep the commit history from the files in a repository&#39;s folder and create a repository from it and use it as a [submodule][1] instead?*

I am using Git submodules. After pulling changes from server, many times my submodule head gets detached from master branch. 

Why does it happen?

I have to always do:

    git branch
    git checkout master

How can I make sure that my submodule is always pointing to master branch?

What is the difference between running 

    git submodule update --remote
vs 

    cd &lt;submodule directoy&gt;
    git pull

Assuming that the submodule was previously set to track some branch:

    git submodule add -b master [URL to Git repo]


git submodule update --remote vs git pull

I have a project that contains many submodules. I want to loop over each submodule with the following command:

`git submodule foreach npm install`

And I want the script to continue looping over each submodule even if one submodule returns an error (non zero return code). Currently, a non-zero return code from running this command in any submodule will cause git to stop looping over the remaining submodules.

Any recommendations on how to accomplish this?

Continue looping over submodules with the &quot;git submodule foreach&quot; command after a non-zero exit

As far as I know, if you add a submodule in git then it points to a certain commit in that submodule. 

Is there any way to see which commit a submodule is pointing at without checking it out?
