using http access token with git submodule command

[dekhaus]

Hi All

I can clone the repo I'm working with using an http access token ...

git clone -c http.extraHeader='Authorization: Bearer __replace_with_http_access_token__' https://stashweb.sd.apple.com/....

That works.

I now need to add the same repo as a git submodule to a project and can't seem to figure out the correct syntax for the git submodule add command .  More specifically - how do I issue a git submodule add command in which there is Authorization: Bearer that uses my http access token ?

Please respond to {REDACTED}

Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,

The correct syntax is as follows for Bitbucket Cloud repositories:

git submodule add https://x-token-auth:{TOKENHERE}@bitbucket.org/{workspaceID}/{reposlug}.git 

NOTE: You will need to replace the placeholder values {TOKENHERE}, {workspaceID}, {reposlug} with actual values (removing the curly braces).

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
