git pull --recurse-submodules

…you can make it default

git config submodule.recurse true

cd TARGET_PATH
git submodule add -b main --depth=1 TARGET_REPO

git submodule deinit -f TARGET_PATH
rm -rf .git/modules/TARGET_PATH
git rm -rf TARGET_PATH

… TARGET_PATH can be found via ##Status, source: Remove A Submodule In Git | Rm -rf - Javaexercise. … define alias in your .gitconfig:

rm-submodule = !git submodule deinit -f $1 && rm -rf .git/modules/$1 && git rm -rf $1
