Git submodule update throws error

[c3m3gyanesh]

When i run the "git submodule update --init --recursive " under p4factory directory, it gives error for three submodules as:

• submodules/bigcode
• submodules/p4ofagent/submodules/indigo
• submodules/p4ofagent

Output:

It looks like for some reason the server hosting the floodlight code is rejecting your connection. Have you tried these steps?

Pierce is correct. You need to generate a public key on your machine and associate it with your Github account. This is because we use some floodlight code which uses the SSH URL for submodules. This is unfortunate because it requires people to have a SSH key. One alternative is to replace the SSH URLs with HTTPS URLs by running the following:

git submodule update --init
cd submodules/p4ofagent/
git submodule update --init
cd submodules/indigo/
find -name ".gitmodules" -type f -exec sed -i 's/[email protected]:/https:\/\/github.com\//' {} \;
git submodule update --init
cd submodules/bigcode/
find -name ".gitmodules" -type f -exec sed -i 's/[email protected]:/https:\/\/github.com\//' {} \;
cd ../../../../../../
git submodule update --init --recursive

However I really recommend simply creating a key...

I had faced the same issue. The reason was the university had blocked ssh . I had to change the protocol to be used as https instead of ssh. Follow the steps , error will be vanished.

1. vim ~/.gitconfig
2. paste the following in gitconfig file [url "https://github.com/"] insteadOf = git://github.com/ [url "https://github.com/"] insteadOf = [email protected]:
3. Try the command again[git submodule update --init --recursive] Should work.

Hi,

I think you should add your public key to GitHub
