EISGIT react-native-safe-area-view error

Expo SDK
1

I just installed expo and tried to install eslint in the project. Running

npm install --save react-navigation

gives me the following error:

85 verbose stack Error: D:\SomeApp\node_modules\react-native-safe-area-view: Appears to be a git repo or submodule.

Any help on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

Go to the root directory of the project and remove the current node modules and install again.

rm -rf node_modules npm install
