Unstaged submodule changes in WSL

[nilay994]

Often enough, we'd want to delete / revert a submodule back to its state at checkout. The submodule change lists correctly within the unstaged commits section. However, on deleting / reverting the submodule change, it correctly confirms whether we want to discard changes in the submodule. On pressing discard, it gives a new dialog saying: error: pathspec '\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\<repo>\<submodule> did not match any file(s) known to git. Would we have an idea how to fix this?

Would you have an idea how to fix this?

Try to open WSL terminal and run

git submodule update --init --recursive -- /home/<repo>/<submodule>

Thanks @DanPristupov for this and the good work with Fork.

CLI is the way I've been doing it indeed, just wanted to bring it to notice.
