git submodule relative url with different org

Question

I have a git repo at [email protected]:some-org/some-repo.git.

I have another git repo at [email protected]:other-org/other-repo.git.

I want to add other-repo as a submodule in some-repo.

How do I make the submodule url relative?

I have attempted:

  url = ../other-org/other-repo.git

This results in git attempting to fetch

[email protected]:some-org/other-org/other-repo.git

which is obviously wrong.

@phd, that solved it. If you like make this an answer and I will accept it. — Gabriel

Solution:

url = ../../other-org/other-repo.git

Explanation: the first ../ applied to the URL [email protected]:other-org/other-repo.git makes it [email protected]:other-org/. The second ../ makes it [email protected]:. Then other-org/other-repo.git appended which makes the new URL [email protected]:other-org/other-repo.git.
