强制 git 使用 https 协议克隆子模块

Question

I have a git project with a submodule as a dependency which in turn has others submodules dependencies.

Those sub/submodules are configured to be cloned using ssh but my Jenkins must use https .

(Unfortunately I can't change submodules configs) (Unfortunately I can't change Jenkins)

Is there any way to tell git to clone submodules (and their submodules) using https only?

Answer 1

Urls can be overriden by this:

git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf 'git@github.com:'

I am just wondering if there is a way to avoid --global but still let sub/submodules use https over git .

Answer 2

I cannot comment yet and there is slight mistake in the first answer.
Do not use ', instead use " or nothing at all.
so the config could look something like this:

git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf "git@github.com:"

You can check result of your change using: config --global --list
If you use ', it will be in final config and probably won't match.
