Interesting. The context is that "git submodule update" is simply running commands like "git fetch" inside the submodules, and the repository-local config of the superproject does not apply there. In the long run, commands like "git fetch --recurse-submodules" may chaange to use a single process. It's possible that some of the repository-local configuration of the superproject would apply at that point, though the inconsistency would be confusing, so probably not these particular settings. Anyway, that's a faraway future; today, "git fetch --recurse-submodules" is also running "git fetch" commands inside the submodules, and the repository-local config of the superproject does not apply there. Would it work for you to put this configuration in the global config file ("git config --global --edit")? That way, it would be used by all repositories. If you want it only to apply within the testrepo directory, you can use conditional includes --- something like: in $HOME/.git/config/testrepo-ca: [http "https://gitlab.example.com";] sslCAInfo = ... in $HOME/.git/config/git: [includeIf "gitdir/i:~/testrepo/**"] path = testrepo-ca Thanks and hope that helps, Jonathan
