Checkout: submodule support removed in v2

Created on 8 Jan 2020  路  6Comments  路  Source: actions/checkout

What is the rationale for the feature removal for a common case? The advantages of using GitHub Actions is to have some features for free, so that anyone can avoid scripting, and can reuse tested and robust solutions.

I tried the submodules approach as mentioned in the README.md

However I need my submodules to work over SSH. Is there something I can try to get the submodule working via SSH.

this is absolutely not a duplicate of #81. I asked a question, and never got an answer.

Both issues are questions about checkout submodules using the v2 version of the action. Please see https://github.com/actions/checkout/issues/81#issuecomment-585935021 for the answer to your question.
