When I run
git submodule update No submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path 'Classes/lib/AFKissXMLRequestOperation' But I have no submodule Classes/lib/AFKissXMLRequestOperation in current repos
My git config is:
[core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true ignorecase = true precomposeunicode = false [remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = [email protected]:why_ios.git [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master [submodule "External/ios-SDNestedTable"] url = [email protected]:why/ios-SDNestedTable.git [submodule "External/PSStackedView"] url = [email protected]:why/PSStackedView.git and .gitmodules is:
[submodule "External/ios-SDNestedTable"] path = External/ios-SDNestedTable url = [email protected]:why/ios-SDNestedTable.git [submodule "External/PSStackedView"] path = External/PSStackedView url = [email protected]:why/PSStackedView.git

In order to add a Git submodule, use the “git submodule add” command and specify the URL of the Git remote repository to be included as a submodule. When adding a Git submodule, your submodule will be staged. As a consequence, you will need to commit your submodule by using the “git commit” command.
The . gitmodules file, located in the top-level directory of a Git working tree, is a text file with a syntax matching the requirements of git-config[1]. The file contains one subsection per submodule, and the subsection value is the name of the submodule.
Submodules are Git repositories nested inside a parent Git repository at a specific path in the parent repository's working directory. A submodule can be located anywhere in a parent Git repository's working directory and is configured via a . gitmodules file located at the root of the parent repository.
check that you have the proper setting in .git/modules as well. Since a few versions ago, git adds an entry there.
Also, the tree probably has a commit object at that path. To get rid of it you can
git rm --cached Classes/lib/AFKissXMLRequestOperation that should get rid of it once and for all.

Just leaving this here for anyone using git on Windows. It is possible to follow all of the answers online and still have it not work due to git's handling of path separators. E.g.:
My problem case was adding hugo themes via submodule:
git submodule add https://github.com/danielkvist/hugo-terrassa-theme.git themes\terrassa
will result in a .gitmodules like:
[submodule "themes\\terrassa"] path = themes\\terrassa url = https://github.com/danielkvist/hugo-terrassa-theme.git Which will cause problems for git submodule [status || init || ...]
Manually replacing the separators to:
[submodule "themes/terrassa"] path = themes/terrassa url = https://github.com/danielkvist/hugo-terrassa-theme.git ...solved it for me.
Also solved the deployment on Netlify since they use *nix server images.
