There is no single command for it, so a small script is needed.
shell
# Bash
SUBMODULE_PATH='path/to/submodule'
git submodule deinit -f ${SUBMODULE_PATH}; rm -rf .git/modules/${SUBMODULE_PATH}; git rm -f ${SUBMODULE_PATH}fish
# Fish
git submodule deinit -f (wl-paste); rm -rf .git/modules/(wl-paste); git rm -f (wl-paste)
