[Redirecting git submodules]

Reference
Git submodules commands

Problem

• Submodule is connected to original repos.
• While using opensource packages as submodules in my main project, made several changes to submodules.
• Commit & Push will be submitted to original repos submodules.

Solution

• fork the original opensource packages to your own git
• redirect those submodules url to forked repo
  1. git remote set-url origin "https://github.com/{address of github}/{}.git
  2. edit .gitmodules file in main project

Before

# .gitmodules
[submodule "FiD"]
    path = FiD
    url = https://github.com/facebookresearch/FiD.git

After

# .gitmodules
[submodule "FiD"]
    path = FiD
    url = https://github.com/{your path}/FiD.git
