将克隆的 git 存储库中的 git 存储库的更改推送到我的私人 git 存储库

Question

I have git cloned phosa git repo which depends on 3 other git repos. I have git cloned those three and have modified their codes as needed. I now want to push the changes to my private git repo but I get the following warning.

How can I push the changes for these 3 git repo cloned inside the phosa repo by me?

$ git add .
warning: adding embedded git repository: external/detectron2
hint: You've added another git repository inside your current repository.
hint: Clones of the outer repository will not contain the contents of
hint: the embedded repository and will not know how to obtain it.
hint: If you meant to add a submodule, use:
hint: 
hint:   git submodule add <url> external/detectron2

hint: If you added this path by mistake, you can remove it from the

Here's my git status results:

$ git status

Answer 1

You should fork each of the dependency repos individually and push your modifications to those personal forks. You can do this by adding a remote to your cloned local repos with git remote .

Then you can modify the dependencies in your clone of the phosa repo to use your personal versions of these dependencies.

Answer 2

The way I fixed this problem is creating two git repo for the changes I have made to these submodules and also ignoring them in the actual repo using.gitignore:

$ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/monacv/frankmocap.git
