I'm trying to release a multimodule maven project cloned in github. My project has the parent pom as a submodule of the root aggregator. if i run the release in dryRun mode it works fine, however if I run it for real this is what i get near the end

[ERROR] -> [Help 1] If I run that same git push command by hand it does give me that error, however, if i run the push with the url just up to .git and remove the /jrobocom-aggregator it works fine Where does the MRP take the push url from? i'm running mvn from the root aggregator since i want to release all submodules together but i don't see why the push url should include the aggregator's artifact id What am i doing wrong? this seems like the canonical release procedure This is the aggregator POM (before running the release) in case anyone is interested https://github.com/theHilikus/JRoboCom/blob/master/pom.xml and from there you can find all the other poms Thank you, DISCLAIMER: Privileged and/or Confidential information may be contained in this message.
