  1. POUpdating a submodule when multiple git accounts are configured
    text
    copied!<p>I have two git identities, one is a personal one and the other is for my employer. </p> <p>My work project uses a submodule and although I can clone the main repo fine, I am not able to update the submodule. What do I need to configure so the submodule can also be updated locally without getting the following error?</p> <pre><code>Fetching origin From github.com:/work_domain/work_submodule * branch HEAD -&gt; FETCH_HEAD error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git. </code></pre> <p>I have 2 sets of id_rsa keys in my ~/.ssh directory:</p> <pre><code>id_rsa.pub &lt;= personal ssh key id_rsa_work.pub &lt;= work ssh key </code></pre> <p>~/.ssh/config file:</p> <pre><code>#work acccount Host github-work HostName github.com User git (corrected with info from answers) IdentityFile ~/.ssh/ida_rsa_work #personal account Host github-personal HostName github.com User git Identity ~/.ssh/ida_rsa </code></pre> <p>When I initially cloned my work repo successfully, I used the adjusted host mapping:</p> <pre><code>git clone git@github-work:work_domain/repo_name.git </code></pre> <p>instead of what I normally use when at work:</p> <pre><code>git clone git@github.com:work_domain/repo_name.git </code></pre> <p>Within the work project repo, the .gitmodules file of course has the official mapping:</p> <pre><code>[submodule "work_submodule"] path = work_submodule url = git@github.com:/work_domain/work_submodule.git </code></pre> <p>Per suggestion below, I updated the .gitmodules attribute to be:</p> <pre><code>[submodule "work_submodule"] path = work_submodule url = git@github-work:/work_domain/work_submodule.git </code></pre> <p>But still can't update the submodule locally.</p>
