当

git rm [-r] --cached submodule_path

返回

fatal: pathspec 'emr/normalizers/' did not match any files

背景:我在子模块文件夹中执行了rm -r .git*，然后才意识到它们需要在我刚刚添加它们的主项目中去子模块化。我得到了上面的错误去子模化一些，但不是所有的。不管怎样，我通过运行(当然，在rm -r .git*之后)来修复它们。

mv submodule_path submodule_path.temp
git add -A .
git commit -m "De-submodulization phase 1/2"
mv submodule_path.temp submodule_path
git add -A .
git commit -m "De-submodulization phase 2/2"

注意，这并不能保存历史。

以下是我发现的最好最简单的方法。

在子模块repo中，你想从HEAD合并到main repo:

git checkout -b "mergeMe" mkdir "foo/bar/myLib/"(与你想要在主repo上的文件的路径相同) git mv * "foo/bar/myLib/"(移动所有到路径) Git commit -m“准备合并到main”

在删除子模块并清除路径"foo/bar/myLib"后，回到主repo:

SubmoduleOriginRemote/mergeMe

繁荣做

记录保存

不用担心

注意，这与其他一些答案几乎相同。但这假设你拥有子模块repo。此外，这也使子模块的未来上游更改变得容易。

我已经创建了一个脚本，将子模块转换到一个简单的目录，同时保留所有的文件历史。它不会像其他解决方案那样受到git log——follow <file>问题的困扰。它也是一个非常简单的单行调用，可以为您完成所有工作。G 'luck。

它建立在Lucas Jenß的出色工作之上，在他的博客文章“将子模块集成到父存储库中”中描述了这一点，但是它自动化了整个过程，并清理了一些其他的极端情况。

最新的代码将在github上的https://github.com/jeremysears/scripts/blob/master/bin/git-submodule-rewrite上进行错误修复，但为了适当的stackoverflow回答协议，我在下面包含了完整的解决方案。

用法:

$ git-submodule-rewrite <submodule-name>

# This script builds on the excellent work by Lucas Jenß, described in his blog
# post "Integrating a submodule into the parent repository", but automates the

    This script will convert your "${sub}" git submodule into
    a simple subdirectory in the parent repository while retaining all
    contents and file history.

    The script will:
      * delete the ${sub} submodule configuration from .gitmodules and
        .git/config and commit it.
      * rewrite the entire history of the ${sub} submodule so that all
        paths are prefixed by ${path}.
        This ensures that git log will correctly follow the original file
        history.
      * merge the submodule into its parent repository and commit it.

    NOTE: This script might completely garble your repository, so PLEASE apply
    this only to a fresh clone of the repository where it does not matter if
    the repo is destroyed.  It would be wise to keep a backup clone of your
    repository, so that you can reconstitute it if need be.  You have been
    warned.  Use at your own risk.

如果你只是想把你的子模块代码放到主库中，你只需要删除子模块，并将文件重新添加到主库中:

git rm --cached submodule_path # delete reference to submodule HEAD (no trailing slash)
git rm .gitmodules             # if you have more than one submodules,
                                # you need to edit this file instead of deleting!
rm -rf submodule_path/.git     # make sure you have backup!!
git add submodule_path         # will add files instead of commit reference
git commit -m "remove submodule"

如果还想保留子模块的历史，可以使用一个小技巧:将子模块“合并”到主存储库中，这样结果将与以前相同，只是子模块文件现在位于主存储库中。

在主模块中，你需要做以下工作:

# Fetch the submodule commits into the main repository
git remote add submodule_origin git://url/to/submodule/origin
git fetch submodule_origin

# Start a fake merge (won't change any files, won't commit anything)
git merge -s ours --no-commit submodule_origin/master

# Do the same as in the first solution
git rm --cached submodule_path # delete reference to submodule HEAD
git rm .gitmodules             # if you have more than one submodules,
                                # you need to edit this file instead of deleting!
rm -rf submodule_path/.git     # make sure you have backup!!
git add submodule_path         # will add files instead of commit reference

# Commit and cleanup
git commit -m "removed submodule"
git remote rm submodule_origin

生成的存储库看起来有点奇怪:将会有多个初始提交。但是它不会给Git带来任何问题。

第二种解决方案的一大优点是，您仍然可以在最初位于子模块中的文件上运行git blame或git log。实际上，这里所发生的只是在一个存储库中重命名了许多文件，Git应该自动检测到这一点。如果你仍然有git日志的问题，尝试一些选项(例如，——follow， -M， -C)，它们可以更好地重命名和复制检测。

我找到的最佳答案是:

http://x3ro.de/2013/09/01/Integrating-a-submodule-into-the-parent-repository.html

这篇文章很好地解释了这个过程。

基于VonC的回答，我创建了一个简单的bash脚本。最后的add必须使用通配符，否则它将撤销子模块本身先前的rm。重要的是要添加子模块目录的内容，而不是在add命令中命名目录本身。

在一个名为git- integration -submodule的文件中:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
mv "$1" "${1}_"
git submodule deinit "$1"
git rm "$1"
mv "${1}_" "$1"
git add "$1/**"
