Git submodules and ssh access

Question

I have some trouble with a git repository that contains several submodules.

The super git repository was constructed with the commands

mkdir projectn         


        

Answer 1

Just for reference, the solution I ended up using is the following. It is actually possible for others to check out the existing repository.

When I need to check out the repository it can be done with the commands

git clone ssh://myusername@server.dk/path/to/superrepos
cd superrepos
git submodule init
git submodule update

For others to check out the super repository, the following set of commands is used. The only difference is the manual cloning of the other repository

git clone ssh://otheruser@server.dk/path/to/superrepos
cd superrepos
git clone ssh://otheruser@server.dk/path/to/other/repos
git submodule init
git submodule update

Note that after issuing the

git submodule init

command, git will tell you that the requested repository and the available is not identical. But this is not fatal and you can safely continue.
