Hi All, **The issue** My problem is based on this post: https://stackoverflow.com/q/40841882/2506522 **Use-case:** Git can be used with SSH or with HTTP. The usage of SSH is easier, due to automatic authentication (ssh-key). But I have to use git from a public PC, where I mustn't store my ssh-keys. On that PC I want to use https's user/password authentication. **Suggestion** The root-cause of this issue is that the protocol (SSH or HTTP) and the path of the remote repository is stored together (in the .gitmodules file). If they were stored separately I would choose the protocol easily. Benedek
