Git ignore .git folder

Question

I have a php project that uses composer for package management. One of the packages is another project belonging to the same repo. I have a need to commit my entire vendor folde

Answer 1

To not treat sub folder as a submodule, delete the .git folder. So that you won't see a folder with @number in the website. If you want to update the submodule. You can create a script like the following written in Shell

update.sh

git clone  
rm -rf /.git/
git add 
git commit -m "Updated module"

update.bat

git clone  
rmdir /s /q \.git
git add 
git commit -m "Updated module"

I believe this is the best way to avoid @number in GitLab
