move - Moving submodules with Git -

this question has answer here:

• how move existing git submodule within git repository? 10 answers

is there way move submodules within superproject without removing them first , re-adding them ?

it's similar how removing submodule (see how remove submodule?):

• edit .gitmodules , change path of submodule appropriately, , put in index git add .gitmodules
• if needed, create parent directory of new location of submodule: mkdir -p new/parent
• move content old new directory: mv -vi old/parent/submodule new/parent/submodule
• remove old directory git rm --cached old/parent/submodule

looks me afterwards:

# on branch master # changes committed: #   (use "git reset head <file>..." unstage) # #       modified:   .gitmodules #       renamed:    old/parent/submodule -> new/parent/submodule # 

• finally commit changes.
