Since the Git output by default is not shown, here is how to enable it:
[WayBack] Version Control in Visual Studio Code: Git output window
You can always peek under the hood to see the Git commands we are using. This is helpful if something strange is happening or if you are just curious. :)
To open the Git output window, run View > Output and select Git from the dropdown.
Or shorter on MacOS:
Cmd–Shift–Pshow git output–jeroen

There is git submodule add, but no git submodule remove. That one is called git submodule deinit, but still a lot of links on the internet do not mention it, so I’m glad there is a good answer to [WayBack] github – What is the current way to remove a git submodule? – Stack Overflow:
You have the
git submodule deinitgit submodule deinit <asubmodule> git rm <asubmodule> # Note: asubmodule (no trailing slash) # or, if you want to leave it in your working tree git rm --cached <asubmodule> rm -rf .git/modules/<asubmodule>
deinitUn-register the given submodules, i.e. remove the whole
submodule.$name
section from.git/configtogether with their work tree.Further calls to
git submodule update,git submodule foreachandgit submodule syncwill skip any unregistered submodules until they are initialized again, so use this command if you don’t want to have a local checkout of the submodule in your work tree anymore.If you really want to remove a submodule from the repository and commit that use
git rminstead.If
--forceis specified, the submodule’s work tree will be removed even if it contains local modifications.

February 1st, the start commences of Sunsetting Mercurial support in Bitbucket – Bitbucket [WayBack]. Starting June 1st, only git is supported by Bitbucket, despite them having started with and focused mainly Mercurial at first.
Here are the major dates of the sunset:
- February 1, 2020: users will no longer be able to create new Mercurial repositories
- June 1, 2020: users will not be able to use Mercurial features in Bitbucket or via its API and all Mercurial repositories will be removed.
All current Mercurial functionality in Bitbucket will be available through May 31, 2020.
So by now you should have started migrating from Mercurial to git, probably away from BitBucket.

I like that you can add git repositories inside eachother using git submodule add but when it’s time to say goodbye to a submodule you need some convoluted statements. So I really wish one day there will be git submodule remove.
Until then, these links will help you to get rid of a git submodule:
TL;DR you have to manually edit the below files:
.gitmodules.git/configThen you need to:
.git/modules–jeroen

Some interesting thoughts on DVCS: [WayBack] Unorthodocs: Abandon your DVCS and Return to Sanity – bitquabit
Besides the very good point it raises about DVCS (Git, Mercurial and most other DVCSes treat the whole state of the repository as the atom) it also indicates quite a few shortcomings:
I see many other advantages of DVCS systems (for instance that you only need to locally have the branches you are interested in, way better tooling for DVCS systems, ditto for sites hosting DVCS), but it always a good thing to know the weak spots of what you are working with.

When working with git, often the brevity of a solution is remarkable. Remembering how it can be so short is the hard part. An explanation why helps, for instance with [WayBack] git tag – How to delete a git remote tag? – Stack Overflow by markdorison.
He explains why you end up with:
git push --delete <origin> <tagname>
Here, <origin> is your remote, and <tagname> the tag to delete.
He explains other ways, which is done by [WayBack] gist.github.com/mobilemind/7883996 as well:
| # delete local tag '12345' | |
| git tag -d 12345 | |
| # delete remote tag '12345' (eg, GitHub version too) | |
| git push origin :refs/tags/12345 | |
| # alternative approach | |
| git push –delete origin tagName | |
| git tag -d tagName |

Time to experiment with [WayBack] Gitless: a simple version control system built on top of http://gitless.com/:
…
Gitless is an experiment to see what happens if you put a simple veneer on an app that changes the underlying concepts. Because Gitless is implemented on top of Git (could be considered what Git pros call a “porcelain” of Git), you can always fall back on Git.
…
It is open source at https://github.com/sdg-mit/gitless
