bug: No url found for submodule path 'examples/nqc' in .gitmodules

[yzx9]

Did you check existing issues?

• I have read all the tree-sitter docs if it relates to using the parser
• I have searched the existing issues

Tree-Sitter CLI Version, if relevant (output of tree-sitter --version)

No response

Describe the bug

The examples/nqc directory contains an unknown link that is recognized as a Git submodule, but no corresponding .gitmodules entry is found in the repository root. This causes the clone operation to fail.

This bug is particularly annoying when a user embeds tree-sitter-nqc as a Git submodule and initializes submodules recursively using:

git submodule update --init --force --depth=1 --recursive

Here is an example of the issue in action.

Steps To Reproduce/Bad Parse Tree

1. git clone git@github.com:tree-sitter-grammars/tree-sitter-nqc.git
2. cd tree-sitter-nqc
3. git update --init

Error:

fatal: No url found for submodule path 'examples/nqc' in .gitmodules

Expected Behavior/Parse Tree

No error
