Set up `persistent-https` as described in the [README][]; including the ‘rewrite https urls’ feature in `.gitconfig`: [url "persistent-https"] insteadof = https [url "persistent-http"] insteadof = http Unfortunately, this breaks `git submodule add`: > git submodule add https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv.git \ ./Vendor/nodenv Cloning into '/Users/ec/Library/System Repo/Vendor/nodenv'... fatal: transport 'persistent-https' not allowed fatal: clone of 'https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv.git' into submodule path '/Users/ec/Library/System Repo/Vendor/nodenv' failed Presumably this isn't intended behaviour?
