I want to build an app from a Github repo that references private git submodules but it doesn’t seem to work.

Hi everyone,
I finally made this work by simply creating a github personal access token for heroku and adding the ENV variable GO_GIT_CRED__HTTPS__GITHUB__COM
as described here: https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-go#private-git-repos
Hope this helps, Fabio
If you attempt to reference private git submodules that are not accessible via the authenticated Github account you have connected, builds will fail. You must have your private git submodules stored in the Github account you have authorized App Platform to use.
UPDATE: THIS STOPPED WORKING, seems like there is a bug on Digital Ocean side
I had the same issue, my package.json was:
"feathers-mongodb": "https://github.com/mategvo/feathers-mongodb.git",
You need to change it to
"feathers-mongodb": "github:mategvo/feathers-mongodb",
