Hey I’m running into some errors when running through steps of deploying to github pages via the Travis CI and the Zola Docs tutorial.

I’m ultimately trying to make automatic deployments to the github pages and ultimately have the site hosted on my custom domain, [bryanlehrer.com](http://bryanlehrer.com)

This is the Travis CI error I get towards the bottom of the build log:

```
0.75s$ git clone --depth=50 --branch=master 
https://github.com/bryanlehrer/Personal-Site-2.0.git bryanlehrer/Personal-Site-2.0

Cloning into 'bryanlehrer/Personal-Site-2.0'...

$ cd bryanlehrer/Personal-Site-2.0

$ git checkout -qf 218bd6665cce3616872553fb12dac4cd9a6c3f06

3.08s$ git submodule update --init --recursive

fatal: No url found for submodule path 'hyde' in .gitmodules

The command "eval git submodule update --init --recursive " failed. Retrying, 2 of 3.

fatal: No url found for submodule path 'hyde' in .gitmodules

The command "eval git submodule update --init --recursive " failed. Retrying, 3 of 3.

The command "eval git submodule update --init --recursive " failed 3 times.

The command "git submodule update --init --recursive" failed and exited with 128 during .

Your build has been stopped.

```

And this is the public repo:  
https://github.com/bryanlehrer/Personal-Site-2.0

This is my first time coding something like this so please let me know if you need any further context to properly help! Thanks for looking!

Hi, this is a git problem not a zola problem.

your `.gitmodules` is not correct. The filename should have `s` at the end. You named it `.gitmodule`.

Also the URL should be `https://github.com/getzola/hyde`. It should start with `git://` or `https://` not both 🙂
