I'm checking out a repository in a non-interactive environment and
would like to disable interactive credential helpers. According to [1]
it can be done by specifying an empty helper in a local config:
[credential]
helper =
But the submodule update command ignores the helper specified in the
config of the parent repository. To reproduce it, fetch a repository
with submodules requiring authentication and run:
git submodule init;
git submodule sync;
git submodule update;
the 'git submodule update' runs a default credential helper. The only
way to disable it is specify helper in command-line:
git -c credential.helper= submodule update
Is it by design?
