I get this error while trying to deploy my site on cloudflare.

I don’t really know how to tackle it. I found this reddit post, but I got everything updated and still throws this error.
That reddit post isn’t helpful.
Assuming that you have not modified the original theme files, uninstall and reinstall the theme.

I am following the link you provided and doing the steps, but I ge this error when trying to add again the submodule:
fatal: 'themes/DoIt' already exists in the index
I solved it by following this stackexchange question using git rm -r --cached projectfolder and then removing the directory of the theme with rm -rf themes/DoIt.
I then continue to follow the instruction from your linked, and it was all good. Thank you.
