If that submodule is on GitHub, you would need to:

  • fork it, and use that repo as your submodule
    • make you modification in that submodule and push
    • commit the parent repo
  • modify the submodule url (by editing the .gitmodules in the parent repo)

Then your git submodule update will work.
