🐛 Bug Report: Using direct link to docker/kubernetes/kustomize in kustomization.yaml on local raises submodule access error

[prateek-ec]

📜 Description

Hello,
I was trying to directly enter the link to the docker/kubernetes/kustomize in my kustomization.yaml file as mentioned below:

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization

resources:
  - https://github.com/novuhq/novu.git//docker/kubernetes/kustomize?ref=086b62851098d59809cfcc1773a91dc3aed1eec6

On running the kustomize build . in the directory results in an error.

Error: accumulating resources: accumulation err='accumulating resources from 'https://github.com/novuhq/novu.git//docker/kubernetes/kustomize?ref=086b62851098d59809cfcc1773a91dc3aed1eec6': URL is a git repository': failed to run '/usr/bin/git submodule update --init --recursive': Submodule 'enterprise' ([email protected]:novuhq/packages-enterprise.git) registered for path '.source'

👟 Reproduction steps

1. Copy the URL of the docker/kubernetes/kustomize directory as resource in kustomization.yaml file.
2. Run kustomize build .

kustomization.yaml

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization

resources:
  - https://github.com/novuhq/novu.git//docker/kubernetes/kustomize?ref=086b62851098d59809cfcc1773a91dc3aed1eec6

👍 Expected behavior

It should clone the files locally without getting the submodule and build the files in docker/kubernetes/kustomize directory.

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

Here is the error:
