Submodule does not appear in repo

I am creating some custom rpm packages and trying to include the source of another project as a submodule for the build. During my first run, I added the package, and when I looked at the Github page, I could see an icon showing the associated submodule, but it was in the wrong place.

I made some changes to place the submodule where I need it (in the folder /SOURCES), but when I do or try to do something to update the repo, I don’t see anything that indicates that the submodule is loading in the right place.
I also do not see any changes when using submodule updateor any other related command.

Should I just erase the file .gitmodulesand start over? I am worried that this will have unforeseen consequences. Is there any command to tell git to check the file .gitmodulesand take appropriate action?

Thanks for any help.

Before using submodules, you must initialize one and only aftr that you can update.

git submodule add <url> <name>

Then you .git/configshould contain the following entry:

[submodule "name"]
    path = extension
    url = <url>

Now you have submodules in the project, at this moment you should initialize and “install” it in the main repository (it should clone the content of the submodule in a certain way).

git submodule init
git submodule update

Now you are all leaving.
