Trying to deploy site - failure to deploy error

I'm trying deploy my site and am getting this error:

2:49:12 PM: Error checking out submodules: fatal: No url found for submodule path 'startbootstrap-grayscale' in .gitmodules
2:49:12 PM: Failing build: Failed to prepare repo
2:49:12 PM: failed during stage 'preparing repo': Error checking out submodules: fatal: No url found for submodule path 'startbootstrap-grayscale' in .gitmodules

Everything has been commited and pushed up to my repo and I don't think there is anything missing. Any clues as to what might going wrong?

EDIT

[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
ignorecase = true
precomposeunicode = true

[remote "origin"]
  url = https://github.com/BlackrockDigital/startbootstrap-grayscale.git
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
  remote = origin
  merge = refs/heads/master

EDIT 2

I know the question has been asked a long time ago. just in case it may help. Netlify describes in a communíty support post the reason of this error, the bottom line as they say is "If you have a private submodule, you’ll need to grant permissions for our build system to access your private submodule"

Based on the Netlify´s desciption of the solution I did the following:

  1. I created a deploy key from the project settings on Netlify and added it to the submodule´s settings under deploy keys.
  2. After pushing to github which started the build on Netlify I got the same error as described in the question.
  3. I changed https://github.com/user/repo to [email protected]:user/repo in .gitmodules, and I pushed again and the build and the delpoyment worked just fine.

It looks like your repository uses a submodule. When you use a submodule, there should be an entry for that path in the .gitmodules file in the root of your repository, and there should be an entry for the URL in that file. If you lack the file or the proper URL entry, you won't be able to check out the submodule when you perform a clone because Git doesn't know where the other repository is.

For reference, a .gitmodules file should look something like this:

[submodule "vim-fugitive"]
        path = vim/bundle/vim-fugitive
        url = https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git
[submodule "ctrlp"]
        path = vim/bundle/ctrlp
        url = https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim.git

The path component is the path within your repository and the url component is the location to download it from.

See the git-config(1) manual page for more details about the submodule configuration options.

What do you get back with "heroku logs --tail"? Im assuming you deleted the app and redeployed?
