Cloning failed

Cloning this project on Windows with Git-2 is impossible for me (git version 2.35.0.windows.1):

md Git-latest
cd Git-latest
git clone -j8 https://github.com/allegory-software/allegory-sdk.git .
git submodule update --init --recursive

The last command yields these errors:

Submodule 'c/bcrypt/src' (git@github.com:allegory-software/allegory-sdk-bcrypt.git) registered for path 'c/bcrypt/src'
...
Submodule 'c/zlib-ng/src' (git@github.com:allegory-software/allegory-sdk-zlib-ng.git) registered for path 'c/zlib-ng/src'
Cloning into 'F:/MinGW32/src/LUA/Allegory-Software/Git-latest/c/bcrypt/src'...
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

The publickey could be a hint. But I fail to grasp what exactly; missing ssh key? Similar to this: https://github.com/kujason/avod/issues/8

After patching .git/config into https://github.com/allegory-software.. a git submodule update --init --recursive worked. But a git pull failed (!)

So why can't we clone with https://? Always works here.

Well you have to put a full URL AFAIK when you clone a submodule, and since I'm always using only SSH (because I also push not just pull and I don't want to mess with password agents and other crap), that's what you get. You can teach your git to always clone everything via https though with a rewrite rule.

Btw you only need the submodules if you want to rebuild the binaries.

[capr]

Wait, I was wrong, looks like you can use relative URLs after all. I'll change and test.

Yup it works, but do git checkout dev before cloning the submodules.

So my steps would be:

md Git-latest
cd Git-latest
git clone -j8 https://github.com/allegory-software/allegory-sdk.git .
git checkout dev
git submodule update --init --recursive

This works.
