This repository uses many Git
submodules. This
causes the common issue that fork and clone doesn't work. Instead, clone from
https://github.com/SWI-Prolog/swipl-devel.git and then associate your
clone with your fork (replace me
with your github user name).
git clone https://github.com/SWI-Prolog/swipl-devel.git
cd swipl-devel
git submodule update --init
git remote add myfork [email protected]:me/swipl-devel.git
