Repo.clonehasmulti_options, but i want to use these set config-env forgit-fetchtooA colleague suggested
set_persistent_git_optionsand it does indeed seem like what i want, but it does not work with submodules :-/e.g.
repo = Repo(..) remote = repo.create_head(...) remote.fetch(ref) # OK my `-c core.askpass=...` works here ... for submodule in repo.submodules: submodule.update(...) # not OK
is it clashing with
clone_multi_optionsperhpas?Thanks for reporting and sharing the workaround.
Maybe submodules have their own copy of the
gitcommand which is why it isn't present there? If so, is there a way to useset_persistent_git_optionson each submodule?Of course, this might be a genuine bug, especially related to submodules everything is possible.

Yeah this is what i thought as well, that submodules dont share the same
gitinstance with the repo.I didn't find a way to call
set_persistent_git_optionsfor a submodule, alas i didn't dig too deep. For now i reverted to usinggit.executeand passing the flags myself, but id rather use theRepoconstruct if at all possible 😃- locked and limited conversation to collaborators

Hi!
I want to override system wide and global git configs for all commands i'm running in this repo in order to set
credential.helperto nothing (dont cache or use system store to save my passwords)This can be done with git like so:
git -c credential.helper="" fetchbut, if possible, i'd like to use gitpythons
Repoto fetch my do my fetching, but i can't find a way to pass the-cflag to git itself and not git-fetch. E.g. doing the following doesn't work because the flag is passed to git-fetch:because that essentially does:
git fetch -c credential.helper=""but
git-fetchdoesn't know about any-cflag, onlygitdoes.Is this even possible with gitpython? Thanks!
