Your not the first to suggest it and you probably won't be the last. It is hard to decide _which_ config variables, if any, should propagate from the parent. What works for one use-case may not necessarily work for another. > How can I set up my submodule? Probably the easiest thing would be to make your http.proxy configuration global i.e. $ git config --global http.proxy .... If you don't want to make it a global setting you can setup the submodule configuration after running init but before running update i.e. $ git submodule init MySubmodule $ (cd MySubmodule && git config http.proxy ...) $ git submodule update MySubmodule -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
