GitGetter.update fails if repo contains submodule

package main

import (
    "github.com/hashicorp/go-getter"
    "log"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    repoURL := "git@github.com:mayraamaral/submodule-father.git" // repo contains submodule
    destDir := "repo"
    for i := 0; i < 2; i++ {
        err := getter.GetAny(destDir, repoURL) // fails when i == 1
        if err != nil {
            log.Println(err)
        }
    }
}

problem caused by rm .git but submodules have own .git modules the solution cud be

1. recursive removing all submodules, including all directory with files
2. actually update repo but not removing .git folder f.e. git pull --rebase
3. stop using update method and instead rm all dir and use clone method again
