Submodule project died, how to import the code?
My project has a particular submodule that, since 2 days is no more live. The authors ha removed the repository at all from github.
I need to know how to remove the submodule without loosing the code.
Actually the submodule is located into
project_root/external_modules/name_of_died_project
I need to keep the code in the same position. I don'r want to pushit to a separeted NEW repo.
The code of the last commit is actually on my drive. It's not that I cannot push into a new repo.. i DONT'WANT to do it. I simply want to keep the code and handle them as a simple standard subdirectory of the project, without change any path config
The submodule is an individual Git repository itself. That means you can push a copy of it to your own GitHub account. To do so do the following:
Change to the submodule
cd path/to/submodule
and push everything to your repo on GitHub (or wherever you prefer, simply replace the URL)
git push git@github.com:your-username/your-repo.git --all
You should see a copy of the repo on your GitHub account.
Afterwards follow these instructions to change the submodule URL in your parent project:
In your main project open the file .gitmodules , search for the corresponding submodule block
[submodule "path/to/submodule"]
path = path/to/submodule
url = https://github.com/dead-account/dead-repo.git
and replace the old dead URL with your new one from above. Then run
git submodule sync
and commit the changes
git commit -am "Fixed disappeared submodule upstream"
