When we cloned cocos2d-x repo today and found the following error:

I see the failure. I tested and the following works:

git clone https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x
cd cocos2d-x/
git submodule update --init

Hey, I actually faced this issue. It is said here that the protocol git:// is outdated. You may do this as a workaround:

  1. Replace urls in .gitmodules like this:
$git diff
...
 [submodule "tools/cocos2d-console"]
         path = tools/cocos2d-console
-        url = git://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-console.git
+        url = git@github.com:cocos2d/cocos2d-console.git
 [submodule "tools/bindings-generator"]
         path = tools/bindings-generator
-        url = git://github.com/cocos2d/bindings-generator.git
+        url = git@github.com:cocos2d/bindings-generator.git
 [submodule "tests/cpp-tests/Resources/ccs-res"]
         path = tests/cpp-tests/Resources/ccs-res
-        url = git://github.com/dumganhar/ccs-res.git
+        url = git@github.com:dumganhar/ccs-res.git
  1. Sync the new urls: $git submodule sync --recursive
  2. Now $git submodule update --init should work.

I don't know maybe they should update the submodule urls if it won't break something

Yes, the problem is back. I tried it and it works too, but it's better to fix it upstream, local patching is of no use to us.

We’re changing which keys are supported in SSH and removing unencrypted Git protocol. Only users connecting via SSH or git:// will be affected. If your Git remotes start with https://, nothing in this post will affect you. If you’re an SSH user, read on for the details and timeline.
