Having issues with .gitmodules in getting my Hugo Site onto github pages

So I managed to create a static webpage using the Hugo Framework and the After-Dark theme (https://after-dark.habd.as). I uploaded my site to my repository (https://github.com/Lord-Left/Lord-Left.github.io) but when I try to build the site, I get the following error:

Your site is having problems building: The submodule public was not properly initialized with a .gitmodules file. For more information, see https://help.github.com/articles/page-build-failed-missing-submodule/.

This is the link to my submodule file (located in root). I created it by tinkering with it, is it correct?

In you .gitmodules, you say

[submodule "after-dark"]
path = after-dark
url = https://git.habd.as/comfusion/after-dark

While the following works for me:

[submodule "themes/beautifulhugo"]
path = themes/beautifulhugo
url = https://github.com/halogenica/beautifulhugo

Looks like you are just missing the themes/ part that would point correctly to a subfolder.
