Got Error when I set branch for all Git Submodules

I want to update my all git submodule branches to Master.(previously they are in dev branch)

I referred so many links and executed the below commands and i got the below error.

PS C:\Users\Mohan\source\repos\MainProject> cat .gitmodules                                                             [submodule "SubProject1"]
        path = SubProject1
        url = https://[email protected]/TestGitSubModules/SubProject1/_git/SubProject1
        branch = dev
[submodule "SubProject2"]
        path = SubProject2
        url = https://[email protected]/TestGitSubModules/SubProject2/_git/SubProject2
        branch = dev
PS C:\Users\Mohan\source\repos\MainProject> git submodule foreach 'git submodule set-branch --default -- ${sm_path}'    Entering 'SubProject1'
**error: pathspec 'SubProject1' did not match any file(s) known to git
fatal: run_command returned non-zero status for SubProject1**

can any one help me to get rid of this

Thanks.

This should do it: 

git submodule foreach --recursive 'git submodule set-branch --default'

Notice the recursion and the omission of a url.
You don't have the remote url in foreach, so you can't give it to track.
