I have an umbrella repo containing a number of submodules. I am using
git clone --recurse-submodules --remote-submodules https://<access_token>@github.com/user/repo.git to recursively clone all submodules. On Ubuntu, I am asked for the credentials of each submodule although they all can be accessed using the same access token, which I have tested by cloning them individually. Side note: I am asked for username and password, which have not been accepted anymore by GitHub since August, 13th. On Windows, where Git was installed as part of Visual Studio, I only need to provide the access token once for the umbrella repo.
I already tried to use the Git credential cache, but that did not work:
git config --global credential.helper cache How can I clone the submodules recursively with providing the access token only once?
