Lab theme is broken

[RogueScholar]

Just tried to clone the repo on a new computer and it errored out when trying to clone the lab submodule; it seems the creator/owner decided to summarily delete the entire repo the submodule points to without telling anyone. I never used it so I don't know how much of a loss it is, but in case it had some devotees I searched the Wayback Machine for it and discovered that the repo had indeed been archived just a little over a year ago. Scratch that, I just checked the contents and they're not there, just the landing page and README.rst file. Well, I have no idea how long it's been since I last pulled the copy of the repo that's on my laptop from here (could be a couple years old or more, if memory serves), but you guys are welcome to it if you want to salvage the theme, just let me know and I'll make a tarball and attach it here.

Warmly, Peter

I guess if the author decided to scrap the repo then it is gone forever. I have just stumbled into this yesterday, have not found a fork of the repo.

I guess, the most straightforward resolution would be to delete the affected submodule.

I can't clone pelican-themes because of this problem. I get the error fatal: clone of 'https://github.com/mothsART/pelican-lab.git' into submodule path '/Users/myname/pelican-themes/lab' failed

Thanks to @avaris, this problem should now be resolved.
