Body

hi,

I have used submodule in my repo and i can get updated code in submodule using below commands in my VSCode - "git submodule update --init --recursive / git submodule update --remote " , however when i run below command in githib actions it fails.

Note : In this case, both the main repo and submodule repo are in the same organization repo only and hence i dont use any specific token/perm.

Code :

runs-on: 
    ubuntu-latest ( i tried with my default organization runners also ) 
steps:        
  - name: Checkout repository
    uses: actions/checkout@v3
    with:
      fetch-depth: 2
      clean: false
      submodules: true

Error :

/usr/bin/git submodule sync
/usr/bin/git -c protocol.version=2 submodule update --init --force --depth=2
Submodule 'xyz/xyz1' (https://github.com/org-repo/xyz1.git) registered for path 'xyz/xyz1'
Cloning into '/home/runner/work/main-repo/main-repo/xyz/xyz1'...
remote: Repository not found.
Error: fatal: repository 'https://github.com/org-repo/xyz1.git/' not found
Error: fatal: clone of 'https://github.com/org-repo/xyz1.git' into submodule path '/home/runner/work/main-repo/main-repo/xyz/xyz1' failed
Failed to clone 'xyz/xyz1'. Retry scheduled

i tried running the command manually to check ,if we can do it instead of just activating in checkour - submodule :true

Run git submodule update --init --recursive

Submodule 'astro-test-subproject' (https://github.com/org-repo/xyz1.git) registered for path 'xyz/xyz1'
Cloning into '/home/runner/_work/main-repo/main-repo/xyz/xyz1'...
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address

Can someone help me with the fix ?
