git submodule update question, when cloning superparasites

[MarcBoule]

Hi, I was wondering if I'm using the proper command after cloning superparasites. I'm currently doing this when I cd into superparasites after cloning:

git submodule update --init --recursive

But when I do this, it doesn't look like it has the permissions to clone stmlib, but if I cd into the stmlib subdirectory and clone it manually, then it does work. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, cheers!

Hm, I'd say the command looks about right. The permissions I suspect might be because it's a git@github... URL in .gitmodules, rather than https... that rings a distant bell, but maybe something has changed. Are you cloning directly, or from a fork?

[MarcBoule]

Thanks for the followup. Yes, I'm cloning your repo directly:

https://github.com/patrickdowling/superparasites.git

And then when the stmlib submodule doesn't update, I get it manually from here:

https://github.com/mqtthiqs/stmlib.git

What you are mentioning might be the problem. Would it be possible to try and change the last line in .gitmodules to:

url = https://github.com/mqtthiqs/stmlib.git

instead of

url = git@github.com:mqtthiqs/stmlib.git

[patrickdowling]

Yes, that's what I would try changing it to (the other module entry is a https also). Off the top of my head I'm not sure if that might affect pushing, but that's not super relevant here anyway.

Ok, I pushed that to master, "works for me" 😛 Thanks for the help!

Awesome, thanks for the speedy fix :-) Cheers!
