I am trying to clone a repo inside another repo. In the inner repo, I want to make some changes according to my need. When i am trying to commit these changes, i am getting an issue:

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
  (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)
        modified:   infrastructure/accounts/customer/xyz (modified content)
   no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

I want to use the inner repo as a fixed module only for my code. Please let me know how can i achieve this.

If you want to add, commit and pushed changes done from your inner repository, you need first to cd (change directory) to your inner repo root folder.

Then you can add/commit/push from that root folder.

Go back one level up, and you can record the new inner repo state (its root tree SHA as a gitlink entry).

Make sure you have added that repository as a submodule of your parent main project repository.

From that main project, a git diff --submodule=diff would show the differences from the inner repository.
