git-sync using github personal access token (PAT) for git submodules

I have a Github repo which I configure in git-sync to sync files with my Kubernetes airflow instance by specifying the repo URL with PAT token like below:

https://<PAT>@github.com/org/dag_repo.git`

(PAT token is inserted by CI/CD and not committed to github to the dag_repo)

This Github repo also has multiple other GitHub Repos added as git submodules using the command:

git submodule add https://<PAT>@github.com/org/test-git-sync.git

My .gitmodules file looks like the below:

[submodule "test-git-sync"]
    path = test-git-sync
    url = https://<PAT>@github.com/org/test-git-sync.git

So in the submodule file git is saving the PAT token which is sensitive - thus I cannot commit it to Github

I tried adding the submodule repo without a PAT token - but in this case, git-sync is not able to check out the submodule because the submodule repo is private and no auth is specified.

It is possible to provide relative paths in the git submodule to use the same repo config as the parent. In my case the below config in .gitmodules file made it work:

[submodule "test-git-sync"]
    path = test-git-sync
    url = ../test-git-sync.git # use relative path
