   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 It is said here that the protocol git:// is outdated.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
   

   2. Sync the new urls: $git submodule sync --recursive
   3. 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.

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

   cd cocos2d-x/
   git submodule update --init

   Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 WSL with Git 2.34.1 and these commands don't work. On the day I write this message, replacing git submodule update --initwith the following commands do work:

   git submodule init
   git submodule set-url tools/cocos2d-console https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-console.git
   git submodule set-url tools/bindings-generator https://github.com/cocos2d/bindings-generator.git
   git submodule set-url tests/cpp-tests/Resources/ccs-res https://github.com/dumganhar/ccs-res.git
   git submodule update
   

   The .gitmodule file needs to be updated ASAP. There is a PR over 2 years old that will do exactly that, I can't believe it hasn't been merged already.
