Hi Simon,
This happens because the locations of the submodules are specified
using relative paths from the main GHC repository, but Tritlo has only
made a fork of the main GHC repo, not all the submodules. I would do
this:
* Clone from the main GHC repo (including submodules) however you
usually do it (e.g., git clone --recursive
https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git)
* Add Tritlo's ghc repo as a remote: git remote add tritlo
git@github.com:Tritlo/ghc.git
* Fetch from the new remote: git fetch tritlo
* Check out the branch you want: git checkout tritlo/<branch-name>
Here "tritlo" is just a name for the remote within your local ghc
checkout, so it can be anything you choose.
Regards,
Reid Barton

Devs
I want to build a GHC from someone else repo; this one actually git@github.com:Tritlo/ghc.git.
But when I clone it, and then do git submodule init; git submodule update, I get lots of
git submodule update
Cloning into '.arc-linters/arcanist-external-json-linter'...
ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Clone of 'git@github.com:Tritlo/arcanist-external-json-linter.git' into submodule path '.arc-linters/arcanist-external-json-linter' failed
simonpj@cam-05-unx:~/code/ghc-holes$
What is the kosher way to do this?
Thanks
Simon
