How can I use private git submodules in my app?

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

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",

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.
