Bitrise Build Issue Report template

Description of the issue

I am having an authentication issue when trying to run a git clone. We are currently using submodules and from what i read you can not use HTTPS. You must use ssh. I created a user and added the SSH key to this user.
I followed this document from you guys. https://devcenter.bitrise.io/faq/adding-projects-with-submodules/

I am not sure what i am missing. When it tries to clone the submodules

Environment:

We are using Xcode 9.4.x, on macOS 10.13

Which build Step causes the issue and which version of the step?

E.g.: Git Clone v4.0.11

Reproducibility

This issue happens every time.

Local reproduction

Didn’t seem to work correctly. it was skipping over git clone.

Local reproduction: Linux / Android (docker based) stack builds
