My company’s self-hosting git server have some issues with the http authentication, so I want to switch to ssh instead. Is there has any command can help me convert those remote-urls to ssh?

After searching the internet, I found the snippet 1 to replace https url to ssh.

perl -i -p -e 's|https://(.*?)/|git@\1:|g'

But the project that I’m working on has a lot of submodules, so I use the find command to search through the .git directory, and use xargs to pass config files into perl command to do the convertion, job done!

Here is the command:

cd .git && find . -name "config" | xargs perl -i -p -e 's|https://(.*?)/|git@\1:|g'
