I took the following steps to completely remove my submodules: Link

Everything is gone, but the really annoying thing is that when I view the repository on Github, it's still showing the module, but its grayed out. Is there a way to get rid of it? It's just super annoying to see that it's there, when it's really not...

I have:

  • Removed the submodule entry from .git/config
  • Removed the submodule directory from .git/modules
  • Removed the entry from .gitmodules

Github recognizes that it has been removed, but it still shows it on Github as a grayed out Submodule.

    @TimBiegeleisen - No, I've already removed it. After it was removed, it still shows on Github as a grayed out submodule and it's just bothering me. – Serey Aug 03 '17 at 14:27
  • So you completely removed it from history? I don't see how GitHub could be picking up on it if you had done so. – Tim Biegeleisen Aug 03 '17 at 14:27
  • @TimBiegeleisen yeah that's what I'm trying to understand, I've completely removed everything related to that submodule, even from `.git/config/. Github knows that it has been removed, but it still shows the submodule as a grayed out folder – Serey Aug 03 '17 at 14:29

    You should update your question with the exact Git commands you ran from the bash. My guess is that the submodule is still part of your history. – Tim Biegeleisen Aug 03 '17 at 14:36
