Question

I have created a repo for my .vim directory so that I won’t need to donfigure that every time I change a machine I am working on.

So I have something like that now:

user@.vim$ tree -L 3 -a
.
|-- autoload
|   `-- pathogen.vim
|-- bundle
|   |-- jedi-vim
|   |   |-- after
|   |   |-- AUTHORS.txt
|   |   |-- autoload
|   |   |-- build
|   |   |-- CONTRIBUTING.md
|   |   |-- ftplugin
|   |   |-- .git
|   |   |-- .gitignore
|   |   |-- .gitmodules
|   |   |-- jedi
|   |   |-- LICENSE.txt
|   |   |-- plugin
|   |   `-- README.rst
|   |-- vim-colors-solarized
|   |   |-- autoload
|   |   |-- bitmaps
|   |   |-- colors
|   |   |-- doc
|   |   |-- .git
|   |   `-- README.mkd
|   |-- vim-surround
|   |   |-- doc
|   |   |-- .git
|   |   |-- .gitignore
|   |   |-- plugin
|   |   `-- README.markdown
|   `-- xmledit
|       |-- build.vim
|       |-- doc
|       |-- ftplugin
|       |-- Makefile
|       `-- README.mkd
`-- .git
    |-- //*** MY GIT REPO

And when I do git add . or any other add I cannot add jedi directory to my local repo.

This is the only .gitmodules file I have there:

$ cat ./bundle/jedi-vim/.gitmodules
[submodule "jedi"]
        path = jedi
        url = git://github.com/davidhalter/jedi.git

This is what I get on git status

#       modified:   bundle/jedi-vim (untracked content)

What should I do to get this done ?

Answer 1

You can re-add the submodule. There is something inconsistent.

remove the .gitmodules, do a git rm --cached path/to/submodule and remove any entries for it in your .git/config.

now add it again with

git submodule add url path
