Initialising submodule not possible #4

Closed kyzh closed 10 years ago

kyzh commented 11 years ago

I cannot clone timeserieswidget (actually via anthracite dependency). The solution is to use https instead of git within the .gitmodules. I'm not sure anyone would complain about it as the fix is trivial. Equally I don't know any disadvantages of HTTPS over git protocol. PR to follow.

Finkregh commented 11 years ago

as the git-protocol is a sort-of-default when referencing submodules i'd suggest that you yourself workaround that issue: http://www.emilsit.net/blog/archives/how-to-use-the-git-protocol-through-a-http-connect-proxy/

otherwise should we switch to plain HTTP for when HTTPS does not work... ;)

kyzh commented 11 years ago

I don't have a proxy available unfortunately. I'm happy to keep on using sed, in case that would help someone, here what I'm doing.

find . -name .gitmodules |xargs sed -i 's/git:\/\//https:\/\//g'

Go to asset/* and initialise the submodule

git submodule update --init

Rinse and repeat

(i still think that this is a special case and we should stick to what the mainstream dows/what people expect) :)

Dieterbe commented 11 years ago

@kyzh what exactly is your problem? is the git protocol blocked by a firewall? can you show the error?

i would be fine with switching to http/https but doesn't http urls require you to type a username/password on every clone/update of the project being referenced by a http(s) url?

kyzh commented 11 years ago

@Dieterbe i started by trying to install anthracite as so:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Dieterbe/anthracite.git

I definitely did not had to insert user/password on a clone operation. Here is an example of me editing the .gitmodules and cloning the repo. https://gist.github.com/kyzh/5452491

I think you only get prompted to login when you push upstream, not when you pull data. I also need to make sure that i don't have any local (read environment) that would skip login bit

Edit: Added the traces, removed the command saying i will add the traces.

I found a lovely little hack somewhere on the web for this too:

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

autoreplaces ANY git:// url with https:// instead - works great so far...

kyzh commented 10 years ago

Thanks @pdaugavietis , I will give it a try :heart:

:clap: to @pdaugavietis nice workaround
