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

×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.
This is not working even with git submodules that the account has access to.
I get the error:
Cloning submodules
peekalink-api-worker | 21:01:09 warning: error cloning submodules: error creating SSH agent: “SSH agent requested but SSHAUTHSOCK not-specified”
“Git submodules that reference SSH path style repos fail to build. Users will need to replace SSH submodule links with HTTPS.”

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:

Hope this helps,
Fabio
