git restore . --recurse-submodulesIt resets the submodules back
Does it also take care of the git reset --hard --recurse-submodules to discard any changes in the working trees? If so, why do the git restore last and not first?
The key for me was git submodule sync. Thank you @larsbrinkhoff @yuzhichang!
It's a sneaky issue whenever the URLs specified in .gitmodules get updated, but the old URLs continue to silently be used (as shown by git submodule foreach --recursive git remote get-url origin). Git should honestly warn us whenever the two are different.
Maybe
git submodule sync?
For anyone coming new to all these commands, I believe this suggestion is 'as well', not 'instead' (see later comments for what this adds).
