Answer 1

This is happened that many times for me that I put a function in my .bash_profile (works on BSD sed / GNU / Mac):

gitfix () {
if [ -f "./.gitmodules" ] ; then
    sed -E -i.bak -e "s/(url *= *)(.*:)(.*)/\1https:\/\/github.com\/\3/g" .gitmodules \
    git submodule sync
    git submodule update --init --recursive
fi
}

A one liner:

sed -E -i.bak -e "s/(url *= *)(.*:)(.*)/\1https:\/\/github.com\/\3/g" .gitmodules ; git submodule sync ; git submodule update --init --recursive

vim search/replace:

%s/\(url\s*=\s*\)\(.*:\)\(.*\)/\1https:\/\/github.com\/\3/
