If the repository for your site contains submodules, their contents will automatically be pulled in when your site is built.

You can only use submodules that point to public repositories, because the server cannot access private repositories.

Use the https:// read-only URL for your submodules, including nested submodules. You can make this change in your .gitmodules file.
