[BUG] cargo generate failure

[jccampagne]

The issue

The docs https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-rs#getting-started

says to run:

cargo generate cloudflare/workers-rs

But this fails:

cargo generate cloudflare/workers-rs
⚠️   Favorite `cloudflare/workers-rs` not found in config, using it as a git repository: https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-rs.git
Error: all authentication attempts failed

Even direct command fails:

~ % cargo generate --git https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-rs.git
Error: all authentication attempts failed

After a some digging (checking configs of git, ssh; testing other repos) and reviewing past issues in cargo-generate, it boils down to a recent change in worker-rs repo, related to submodules, being the cause:

https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-rs/blob/7ad71392841a4ed049fbf497e6fdf22e5e6732fb/.gitmodules

The lines

	url = git@github.com:guybedford/wasm-streams.git
	url = git@github.com:wasm-bindgen/ts-gen

causes some resolution issue.

suggested fix

Changing those lines to

	url = https://github.com/guybedford/wasm-streams
	url = https://github.com/wasm-bindgen/ts-gen

fixes the issue.

Running the same command against my change runs fine:

test % cargo generate https://github.com/jccampagne/workers-rs

Looking at the file's history, we can see this earlier change:

Not sure if that is not a local setup issue of yours?

Hi,

I checked before, and tested with moving all my ssh config and git config out of the way.
It still failed.

I just did the reverse experiment: created a ssh key, registered it in Github and told git to use ssh instead of https and it work: I was able to run cargo generate as per the doc. But it requires auth through ssh.

This is in line with the comment #803 (comment) and the applied change at the time.
