git - 即使使用 SSH 样式的 git@github，您也可以通过 HTTPS 进行克隆吗

Question

I'm trying to clone a git repository which has submodules via git submodule update --init --recursive . These submodules all use "git@github.com:foo/bar.git" URLs. Unfortunately, my work place is preventing SSH URLs from their firewall. I can, however, clone via HTTPS, with no problems.

As mentioned, the submodule URLs are hard-coded in the repository to use SSH. Is there a way to tell git to clone these submodule repositories using HTTPS without instead of SSH making any direct modifications to the git repository?

Answer 1

Use git config --global url.<base>.insteadOf to substitute URLs on the fly. Something like

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

(Please note the colon at the end; it's neccessary to map git@github.com:user/repo.git to https://github.com/user/repo.git ).
