I have a public tree that I maintain for users. The tree is consisted
of a main-tree and a submodule tree which is also served from the same
server.
The main tree:
git://my-domain.org/my-tree/.git
The sub-tree:
git://my-domain.org/my-tree/sub/.git
in my .gitmodule I have the usual
[submodule "sub"]
url = git://my-domain.org/my-tree/sub/.git
So smart people using git will just do:
1. $ git clone git://my-domain.org/my-tree/.git
2. $ git submodule init
3. $ git submodule update
And all is well... But smart ass corporate people would not use "git:"
protocol because of fire-walls and for them I have a dumb "http:" export
as:
1. $ git clone http://my-domain.org/trees/my-tree/.git
With them, step 3 above will not work. My current instructions
for them is that after the step 2 "git submodule init" they should
manually edit my-tree/.git/config and change to:
[submodule "sub"]
- url = git://my-domain.org/my-tree/sub/.git
+ url = http://my-domain.org/trees/my-tree/sub/.git
And then do step 3 to clone the sub-module.
So my question is: Can I automate this so people with "http:"
clones are not forced to manually edit their config files?
(Some users are just not up to it)
Thanks, (Sorry if that has been raised before. Couldn't find any.)
