I've read some answers that say to change the submodule URL from SSH to HTTP, but why should I have to do that. I don't want to do that. I want to keep it SSH so that I don't have to enter my username & password into Terminal if I want to push. Everyone can clone the SSH URL fine, so why can't they recursively clone it as a submodule?
Solution
The SSH protocol doesn’t support anonymous access to a Git repository.
So, don't use the SSH protocol. Instead, use either the Smart HTTP protocol (recommended) or the Git protocol.
For every submodule URL in your repository's .gitmodules file, replace [email protected]: with either https://github.com/ (to use the Smart HTTP protocol) or git://github.com/ (to use the Git protocol).
