Background agent GH integration unable to access private submodules

Describe the Bug

I believe the issue is that we use relative paths in gitmodules, i infer it from the resolved path in the image below.

I cannot paste images in the new form to fill bugs, it’s not good :slight_smile:

[submodule "syb-ui"]
	path = syb-ui
	url = ../syb-ui.git
	branch = main

If i set the absolute path it works, however it’s a problem because some folks in the team use SSH and others use HTTPS. relative paths allow submodules to work regardless of the protocol choosed.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
