I'm trying to "pull" the git directory
as an anonymous user with:
./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean
For each submodule, it ask me for a password, three times
(submodule + admin + cmake).
That means doing "Enter" 378 times...
Is there a way to bypass this procedure?
This is one of GIT's more irritating limitations. What I ended up doing
was creating a bash script "gitpass" in my home directory like this:
#!/bin/bash
echo "<mypassword>"
For anonymous usage "<mypassword>" can be replaced with "".
Mark the script executable (chmod +x ~/gitpass), then export the
GIT_ASKPASS variable in the terminal you will be pulling the sources in
like this:
export GIT_ASKPASS=~/gitpass
Then run the ./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script from
that terminal, and GIT shouldn't bug you for a password.
I might be able to incorporate something like the above into the checkout
script, but for now this manual procedure should get you going.
