Remove a Submodule within git

For many git-based projects, submodules are useful in avoiding duplicate work and easing utility library updates.  There are times, however, when a submodule needs to be removed from a project.  Submodules aren't removed with git rm submoduledir, they must be removed in a more tedious, manual fashion.  There are many unclear explanations of how to remove a submodule but I found one on Stack Overflow that's concise, so I thought I'd share it.  The steps are as follows:

1. Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.  The section would look similar to:

   [submodule "vendor"]
   	path = vendor
   	url = git://github.com/some-user/some-repo.git
   

2. Stage the .gitmodules changes via command line using:git add .gitmodules
3. Delete the relevant section from .git/config, which will look like:

   [submodule "vendor"]
   	url = git://github.com/some-user/some-repo.git
   

4. Run git rm --cached path/to/submodule .  Don't include a trailing slash -- that will lead to an error.
5. Run rm -rf .git/modules/submodule_name
6. Commit the change:
7. Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path/to/submodule

Those steps will get you rid of that unwanted submodule.  A lot harder than adding one, eh?

  One of the worst kept secrets about AJAX on the web is that the underlying API for it, XMLHttpRequest, wasn't really made for what we've been using it for.  We've done well to create elegant APIs around XHR but we know we can do better.  Our effort to...

• Camera and Video Control with HTML5

  Client-side APIs on mobile and desktop devices are quickly providing the same APIs.  Of course our mobile devices got access to some of these APIs first, but those APIs are slowly making their way to the desktop.  One of those APIs is the getUserMedia API...

• dwImageProtector Plugin for jQuery

  I've always been curious about the jQuery JavaScript library. jQuery has captured the hearts of web designers and developers everywhere and I've always wondered why. I've been told it's easy, which is probably why designers were so quick to adopt it NOT that designers...
