Checkout with submodules?

See original GitHub issue

How do I checkout with submodules?

Before the most recent commit to master (https://github.com/actions/checkout/commit/e347bba93bdcadab0b55e4b333254f9bb40bdb0c) I could use submodules:true to checkout with submodules… but it looks like yalls just removed that?

This change caused my most recent Actions checks (https://github.com/NovaMods/nova-renderer/runs/331364250) to fail to checkout

Unless I’m missing something, it seems that yalls updated the checkout action to not support submodules and that broke my Actions check

Hey @ericsciple!

Thanks for your fixes in #112. In our organization we have to deal with submodules a lot and thus I would like to kindly ask why the shortcut of with.submodules was removed from v2? I don’t find the

run: |
    auth_header="$(git config --local --get http.https://github.com/.extraheader)"
    git submodule sync --recursive
    git -c "http.extraheader=$auth_header" -c protocol.version=2 submodule update --init --force --recursive --depth=1

easy to use considering that I maintain many repositories. Would it be possible to revive the with.submodules shortcut?

Thanks all for the feedback! I updated V2 to include the recent submodule/SSH changes from master.
