Title Body

I am using git to clone a repo via https thus: git clone https://username:password@alocation/git/repo.git This is fine but it has a large number of subrepos to clone as well so I am using the --recursive option. Problem here is that for the top level it takes the username & pass specified but for each sub repo it asks for the details again so I get the following: C:>git clone --recursive https://username:password@alocation/git/repo.git Cloning into repo... remote: Counting objects: 15, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (15/15), done. remote: Total 15 (delta 8), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (15/15), done. Submodule 'sub1' (https://alocation/git/repo.sub1) registered for path 'sub1' Submodule 'sub2' (https://alocation/git/repo.sub2) registered for path 'sub2' Submodule 'sub3' (https://alocation/git/repo.sub3) registered for path 'sub3' Submodule 'sub4' (https://alocation/git/repo.sub4) registered for path 'sub4' Cloning into sub1... Username: Password: remote: Counting objects: 10, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (8/8), done. remote: Total 10 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (10/10), done. Username: ..............................etc.... Can I give the username & password separably so I don't have to enter each time. Obvious use case is for a deep subrepo structure like this where there are lots of files. Entering the same data for each subrepo is going to get tedious & error prone.
