So frustrated with Hugo and themes. Is it just me ?

I have a .gitignore which contains /themes/** . This is so that themes are not replicated as they are git repos in their own right. I have a .gitmodules which contains:

[submodule "themes/PaperMod"]
    path = themes/PaperMod
    url = https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod

So in theory the theme should be installed in to the correct place using git prior to the build. But it fails with

Error: failed to load modules: module "PaperMod" not found in "/opt/buildhome/repo/themes/PaperMod"; either add it as a Hugo Module or store it in "/opt/buildhome/repo/themes".: module does not exist

Surely the way that I'm doing it is in theory correct, even if they do want you to use go modules and stuff which I also can't get to work. Just fyi for that I tried

module:
  imports:
  - path: github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod

and then ran hugo mod get -u What is the correct process to get this to work please ? just doing a git clone ends with the message:

warning: adding embedded git repository: themes/PaperMod

hint: Clones of the outer repository will not contain the contents of
