Git submodules in railway docker build

Hello! So I have a situation where I need to initialize a private submodule inside an open source project I am deploying on railway. Any tips on how I could accomplish this on Railway? Thanks!

would likely be easiest in a dockerfile, unfortunately I don't have any examples on hand

.git folders aren't included in github repos, that's a local thing
